If you are a parent or guardian who cares about your child's education, and not just their main subjects, but their ability and interest in learning in general, then you've undoubtedly wondered what activities you can do with your child at home. No doubt you've heard about the current pandemic of Covid-19 going around. Schools are shut down and for good reason. However, what about your child's education? Perhaps they're happy about not having to wake up early and go to school, but many parents are taking it upon themselves to keep their kids mentally active and stimulated—this is especially important the younger they are.
What's the best way to keep a child's mind engaged and curious? Arts and crafts, of course! Today, we'll be focused on painting, specifically.
1 – Sure Grip Paint Brushes
Painting has always been distinctly different than using crayons or markers. While crayons and markers are easier to use and require less to set up, children and adults love to paint for good reason. The colors are wonderfully soft and vibrant. All you need is some paint, a canvas, and of course…a paintbrush.
These Sure-Grip Paint Brushes are sure to bring delight to young children who do not yet have the full comfort and coordination to use traditional sized paint brushes. These thicker, gripped brushes will be much easier for your child to grasp comfortably, so they can create their masterpiece! They come in a pack of 4 or 10, depending on how many children you have, or if you yourself are tempted to use them. I'm sure we can all remember using beat up old paintbrushes in class when we were young, taking forever to clean the color out of them. You won't have that issue here. The bristles are made of nylon, resulting in an easier process to clean.
2 – Hygloss Paint Paper
As we alluded to earlier, when you're painting on just any ol' paper, it won't do. Try to paint on a piece of printer paper, and see what happens! Our high-quality paint paper will allow you, or your child, to use a variety of mediums, with the peace of mind knowing that it'll all turn out okay.
This paper is slightly resilient to mediums, such as caseins, oils, watercolors, and finger paints. Watercolors and finger paints are two of the most common and enjoyable ways for young children to paint. This paper will provide hours of joy to children who are exploring their inner artist. Best of all, this paper can be all yours for an affordable price, compared to many specialty stores, especially if you buy in bulk of 100 sheets. It might sound like a lot of paper, but once your child puts the brush to the canvas, it'll fly by in no time! You might even run out of refrigerator space from all the cool things they make.
3 – Paint Tray with Foam Rollers
Were you transfixed the first time you ever saw a room, or a house being painted, and the painter sponged up the paint using one of those rollers and applied it to the wall in lengthy strokes? There's something really satisfying about that sight. Children often feel that way too, before they learn to adult things as chores, such as mowing the lawn.
In this case, your child can do just that, with this paint tray and foam roller set. These rollers will sponge up paint, so it can be applied to your work surface with ease. With these rollers, there comes a wide variety to paint with. They come with 4 different shapes: solid, 3-stripes, 4-stripes, and checkerboard. This allows the painter to make very fun designs that pop.
These rollers are great for painting large pieces, such as borders and backgrounds. These rollers can simply make an existing project look better, or be a work of art on their own!
