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 of or have been affected by the current
pandemic of coronavirus 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 from using
crayons or markers. While the latter are easier and require less 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 or special paper, 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 stroke out 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 and it taking forever to clean a color out of them. You won't have that issue here. The bristles are made of nylon and as a result are easy to clean.
2 – Hygloss Paint Paper
As we alluded to earlier, when you're painting using just
any ol' paper 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's all going to turn
out okay.
This paper is
highly 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, and so this paper will provide hours of joy to
children who are exploring their inner artist. Best of all, this paper can be
had 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. Children often feel that way too, and before they learn
to see things as chores many adult activities such as mowing the lawn seem fun.
In this case, your child can do just that with this paint tray and foam roller set. These rollers will sponge up paint so that it can be applied to your surface with ease. Where these rollers are much more fun than adult paint rollers is that they come with 4 different shapes: solid, 3-stripes, 4-stripes, and checkerboard. This allows the painter to make very fun designs that pop.
The rollers are great for making things such as borders and
other designs that can make an existing project look better or simply be a work
of art on their own!
