Countless articles have been written about developing creativity in children, which is why a drawing kit often appears in a young family just a few months after the baby's birth. And it's no wonder. Children really love to draw. For them, it's not just entertainment, but a way to explore the world around them and their own personality.
The first masterpiece is usually scribbles. The baby chaotically applies colors, makes the first strokes, and practices holding the magic sticks with paints in their unformed fingers. These can be pencils or gel crayons. The latter have not been on the market for long, and not all mothers know that they are a wonderful way to introduce a child to the world of creativity.
Drawing a picture: first steps
Mothers often teach their child to draw a sun, grass, a flower – elementary things that the child can then repeat themselves. Gel crayons create wide, vibrant lines; with minimal pressure, a clear mark is left, so drawings immediately turn out bright and rich. Everything just as little ones love.
After the age of 3, you can buy children's art sets for your child. Kite gel crayons are convenient and easy to use – the crayon easily twists out of the plastic casing. And since small children like to try everything with their teeth, it's not a problem if the child bites the plastic. The crayons have passed hygienic tests and do not contain harmful substances. The dyes are water-based and easily wash off skin, clothes, and surrounding objects.
In addition to developing creative abilities, all types of fine art improve the fine motor skills of children's hands, making them stronger and more agile. The wide body is designed with ergonomic requirements in mind. It fits well in a child's hand, and there are comfortable finger indentations.
Moving on to coloring books
As soon as the little artist learns to hold gel pencils not just in a fist, but correctly, like a pen, you can move on to the next step – coloring books. Children aged 3 and older are more perceptive; they can already be left briefly to their creative activity.
Show them how to "sharpen" the crayon with one twist. It's safe, easy, and won't get their hands dirty.
Gel-filled crayons draw broad lines, so the child needs to try to be careful when coloring a printed picture. This additionally develops in children a sense of proportion, harmony, and beauty, spatial and abstract thinking, which will be useful to them in their studies and in life.
Drawing masterpieces
After mastering coloring books, you can safely move on to creating your own paintings. The gel base allows you to draw not only on white but also on colored paper, which opens up great opportunities for creativity.
Colors easily mix with each other. And if you run a wet brush over the drawing, you'll get a watercolor effect.
6 colors – not the limit
You can choose a 6-color drawing set for the youngest children. For older children, Kite has prepared a set of 12 regular gel crayons and glitter crayons.
Unleash creative potential, introduce your child to the world of art with quality, creative, and safe Kite stationery.
