Arts and Crafts with Kids
I love art. In fact, I majored in art. One of my favorite things to do is helping my children create art at home.
You, too, can create art in the home with your kids.
Sometimes we’ve used art to reinforce concepts we’re learning about (like Scripture!), and sometimes we just try new techniques. My kids each have an art journal to experiment in. For projects, I like to have them spend time creating work we can put on our walls.
Sounds expensive, right? It’s really not.
You don’t need professional-quality art materials for your kids to create fabulous art. In fact, they don’t need much at all. There are a few items I think all budding artists need. I’m going to list them for you (with links so you can find what I’m talking about).
I’m also going to take you on a little mini-tour of the arts and crafts for kids we’ve done in our home.
Note: Some of these were inspired by kid art sites, but it’s been several years since we did the projects, so I’m not able to credit the source of my inspiration in each case.
Art in the Home | How We Do It
Each of my younger two boys chose a major city. I helped them sketch the building on newspaper and they cut the buildings out and glued them to a piece of canvas they painted with acrylic paints. For this project I showed them how to take a wide brush, mix colors, and paint a background. When the glue dried, they used a black permanent marker to trace their buildings. I painted over it with a few coats of polyurethane. I love polyurethane for preserving projects.
This was designed as a class project, but I adapted it for our kids to do at home.
For the project on either side, the boys were instructed to paint a fanciful landscape with cheerful colors. They each chose an animal and I cut out the animal’s shape from black cardstock. We then glued the shape to the canvas board, and I polyurethaned over the whole thing. I saw something similar to this project–I think on Etsy.
The beading was done when we studied the Hammurabi civilization. Surprisingly, they both loved this and made many more necklaces for every female family member they could think of.
We used paper maché over formed modeling clay (which doesn’t dry) to make these Egyptian death masks, then painted them with acrylics. The clay has to be covered with petroleum jelly so the mask can be removed once it dries. The boys loved this project.
The maps of Israel under different kings were made using paper maché over modeling clay, acrylics, and black permanent markers. That was a pretty involved project, but the boys learned a lot about the tribes of Israel, and about how the obedience of the Israelites had a direct impact on their territory as God allowed them to be invaded by surrounding tribes. I absolutely love these maps. You can see more pictures of them in our library.
Note: I created this post originally some 5 or 6 years ago. One of my boys has grown up to be quite the artist. We did art in the home, though, to help explore concepts we were learning about at the time. The memories we made are some of my very favorite.
Art Materials for Kids
All the Art Tools You Really Need
You’ll notice that above I linked to a few specialty art supplies–like polyurethane, modeling clay, and polymer clay. These items are useful for specific projects (and I just personally love polyurethane for kid projects), but they’re not necessary to do art in the home.
Here’s a list of the essentials you’ll want to add to your home art setup.
Pentalic Sketch Book, Hardbound, 8-1/2-Inch by 11-Inch
FIXSMITH Painting Canvas Panel Boards – 5×7 Inch Art Canvas,24 Pack Mini Canvases,Primed Canvas Panels,100% Cotton,Acid Free,Professional Quality Artist Canvas Board for Hobby Painters,Students & KidsDerwent Graphic Drawing Pencils, Medium, Metal Tin, 12 Count (34214)120 Colored Pencils (GIANT EXTRA LARGE SET) – 120 Unique Colors (NO DUPLICATES) – Premium Grade & Pre-Sharpened – Color Coordinating Barrels – Perfect for Kids, Art School Students, or Professionals!Apple Barrel PROMOABI 18pc Matte Finish Acrylic Craft Paint Set, Assorted Colors 1, 18 Count36 Colors Watercolor Paint, Fundamental Art Watercolor Pan Set with 1 Brushes,Perfect for Kids, Adults and Beginner Artists by MICRORANGEHeartybay 10Pieces Round Pointed Tip Nylon Hair Brush Set, BlueArt Alternatives Paint Tray, 10 Wells with Thumb Hole Pack of 1 (Palette)Sharpie 75847 Permanent Markers, Ultra Fine Point, Assorted Colors, 24-Count
- Every artist needs a sketch book, and young artists need one with thick pages that are large enough for developing skills (young artists need to do work on a larger scale than an adult artist). We love the Pentalic 8 1/2″ x 11″ Sketch Books.
- I think that one of the fun things about art in the home is that you can have your children create lasting pieces of art. Canvas board is great for practicing artists because it’s just like painting on a canvas, but far more economical. The fabric is wrapped around a board rather than around a wooden frame. I buy my canvas boards in value packs, and prefer the 5×7″ size for most projects. You can also find canvas panels in other sizes, including variety packs that contain several of each size.
- I think it’s important for young artists to learn to draw. To do that, they need quality pencils in a range of hardnesses. This pencil set from Derwent is perfect.
- Young artists need a pack of colored pencils, but they want a lot of colors! This set is highly rated, has 120 colors, and is really affordable (right now anyway). When your artists are older and more serious about their art (such as a high school student working on a portfolio for art school, for instance), you’ll want to invest in some Prismacolor or Derwent if colored pencils are their preferred medium.
- Acrylic paints are great–the cover well, dry fast, and mix beautifully. They also come in fabulous colors in craft-grade quality. For students, I really like the Apple Barrel brand. You may be tempted to get poster paints rather than craft-grade acrylics–don’t do it! They’re really smelly, thin, and frustrating for art students.
- Every young artist needs their own set of watercolors. For young students, I think a pan set with lots of colors is the way to go. We also love pearlescent watercolor sets.
- It’s important to have a nice set of brushes to use with the acrylics and the watercolors, with brushes in a variety of sizes. Brushes (like all art supplies) can get really pricey. I think an inexpensive nylon set like this one is perfect for students.
- Kids will want to mix their paints, and you don’t want them using your dinner plates! Students each needs a palette. These are inexpensive, and they make children feel like “real” artists!
- I love ultra fine tip permanent Sharpies. Outline anything painted in a Sharpie, and it instantly looks fabulous! In addition to fine tips, you’ll want to have some regular fine tip black Sharpies for outlining larger projects.
Other basics art materials for kids you’ll want to stock:
-
- White cardstock for painting and drawing on. This is my favorite brand.
- Kneaded erasers
- Stumps and Tortillions (for shading pencils)
- Colored cardstock
- Scissors
- Glue
Arts and crafts with kids can be fun and memorable. With just a little work stocking art materials for kids, your family can do art in the home. Your kids (and you) will remember the time you spend together!

My daughter loves to paint and she decorates cakes.
Art is necessary everyday.
I totally agre with you
This looks like a great art kit!
All my kids love art, but my second daughter paints and draws every spare moment she has! This would come in very handy. 🙂
We love art and could use some inspiration for ideas. I am going to your Pinterest boards today! Thanks for this giveaway and the great ideas above.
My daughters love painting and decorating cakes and cupcakes with me, too!
Art is not only functional for my daughters, but relaxing for me.
Art is an everyday thing here.
I have a budding little artist that would love this!
Great package!
Wow! Great items! Thanks for the chance to win!
We use Harmony Fine Arts for art appreciation, Home Art Studio for fun hands-on projects, and Draw Write Now for drawing instruction. My oldest daughter would do art all day long if I let her!
Ha, art is daily at our home, we love it! Painting, coloring, drawing, crafts, it’s all good. We always need supplies, so this is a great giveaway!
We like incorporating art with science. We also art tutorials on YouTube.
I make sure we include art every week in our homeschool. My kids also will do other art projects on their own, especially my oldest!
Love how art is timeless! Your project inspirations and examples are a great springboard!
I like to dabble in arts and crafts, so my daughters often join me when I’m working on something. They also have art materials that they take out when they want to make projects on their own. The most popular are greeting cards and bookmarks for gifts.
Every day after lunch, we have an hour of art and crafts, Although I am not the best crafter or artist lol I try to get the children involved with different crafts and painting .
@tisonlyme143
We usually do art on Fridays and break from our science and history. Our children really enjoy looking forward to something different each Friday.
Some years art has been more doable than others. I’d like to do more art study this next year.
I incorporate art into science, bible journaling and just giving the kids the freedom to create. This year since our kids our a bit older I am adding more tools, going to museums and possibly an art class for our oldest daughter.
Would love this for our curriculum.
we study 6 great artists with our homeschool group each year. As I find projects online that look fun, we try them out at home.
My boys would love it. Thank you!
We often don’t, other than coloring and basic drawing, because it stresses me out too much. 🙁
My kids would love this!
My daughter loves to do art! I can’t hardly draw a stick figure, so I’m not sure where she is getting it. 🙂
We do a lot of art with our various subjects, but we’ve been slacking with art for just the sake of art.
Everyone writes and draws in a notebook every day.
My grandson’s paintings are everywhere! Fridge, framed, and just hanging on the walls. They would love this!
My 12 year old is taken my lessons so we hang up her finished products. She is pretty talented I must say. Other than that art is pretty neglected in our home. Hoping to change that this fall.
Thanks for the great giveaway and the details on the bundles!
We sxhedule it weekly but plan extra fun projects based on our lessons as well
We found some videos that walk the kids through the steps of creating pictures. I got each of them an art book to draw in. I love to see how each of them makes the same artwork, but very differently.
We sketch and paint periodically. I am planning to imitate great artists over the summer and sketch outdoors!
We have an art closet with materials that the kids can use whenever they want, as long as they clean up after themselves.
Always try to keep a variety of ‘supplies’ within easy access; journals; not just curriculum…
My kids love to draw and journal, they love using gel pens!
We have used the Feed My Sheep curriculum.
My 5 and 7 year old would love this set!
We’ve been reading a lot of the artist books by Mike Venezia – perfect for my 4 & 7 year olds. Also, my kids love to just grab a stack of art supplies (or things from the recycle bin) & start putting them together. They come up with the most amazing things.
My daughter really likes to use watercolor pencils and colored pencils for her artwork. She lives to draw flowers and birds and illustrate characters from a book that she is writing.
With grand kids now, art and creativity abound. I keep coloring books, coloring supplies, beads and other craft items around all the time and don’t refuse them to even use “the good stuff.” I love creative people, so I try to encourage them!
We have a big art & craft supply cabinet, and my boys have free access to it so they can create whenever they want to. Their hybrid school also has an AMAZING art program and I can’t believe the projects they bring home are from Kindergarten and 2nd grade!
We do arts and crafts whenever we can practically fit them into our curriculum, I have some specific art appreciation and technique lessons planned for next year, and both my boys love to draw.
We have a membership to Mark Kistler’s site. The littles have free use of art supplies in the schoolroom.
My daughter would LOVE this!!!
My son loves art and he would really enjoy this!
We are starting with chalk pastels this year. They love doing anything creative!
What a giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win! I feel like I am doing less art with my children than we did when they were younger and that shouldn’t be. Art isn’t just for young ones…it’s good for all of us! Thank you for the reminder to look for ways to incorporate more art into our homeschooling.
What an awesome giveaway. Thank you for having this.
I haven’t done very well at formally incorporating art, but we do the occasional art ‘lesson’ or project to go with other studies. And of course there are always art supplies available for the kids to do some ‘crafting’ with.
We are in the middle of doing an art study with the Come Look with Me art books. Also, we have an area of our home dedicated to art filled with supplies and tons of natural light. Art and craft are a big deal in my home! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome giveaway
My daughter would love this. Thanks for offering such great giveaways!
since my children are still little, we do coloring, decorating with stickers, markers
What a cool art kit! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
We do art once or twice a week.
My daughter is an art nut! I know nothing about art, but she does her own thing every single day!
This year we have read about Monet and DaVinci along with a few other artists and gone to the art museum. We usually just paint and a lot of drawing.
My daughter would love this as as she is always drawing, painting, etc. I have a wall full of her creativity and she is now encouraging the 2 yr old to create right beside her. Thank you for the opportunity! I love your give away ideas!!
We love doing art in our homeschool as well.
We do a lot of art. We draw, paint, work with clay. we have a wheel and Raku kiln. We also painted our kitchen cabinets with chalk paint and we all have fun with pictures and notes to each other on them. We often have to take Art Breaks through out the day just to get the jitters out.
My child loves to do art projects. I let him do his own. But we also study art and learn about different artists too and do projects along with them.
Such a nice giveaway! I love to do art with my four children. I love to connect art with other subjects too.
My older kiddos would love this
I love to do art. I do a lot with Pastel’s and colored pencils. I love to paint as well.
We make a lot of art projects. We try to revolve them around what we are learning. And then of course my girls like to get creative and draw, paint, etc whatever they desire!
Art is a daily happening here. My girls either have an art aspect for one of their subject assignments, use it in making cards, or enjoy it during down time with coloring, drawing, etc.
First of all, great ideas, and your sons do great work! I enjoyed the mapping art.
My daughter loves art, she has shocked me with her obviously God given talent on many occasions. Thank you for your kindness in offering this giveaway for all the budding artist out there.
My daughter would absolutely love this,anything and everything art,this is her favorite activity.
All our kids love creating. This is a great giveaway. I also enjoyed all the post showing different projects you have done. Gave me some ideas.
We do crafts and I have purchased my kids sketch pads so they can practice drawing.
Love all these supplies!
Great Giveaway! We like to include art in our unit studies and our free time.
Great giveaway!
I found this article ever helpful. Thank you
My pleasure, Ruth. 🙂
I have used the Home Art Studio DVDs as well as ideas from Pinterest. But I find that we neglect art most weeks. 🙁
Scrapbook ing and photography
We craft and art everyday, my toddler is just now getting into it and the joy it brings is amazing. Art – in any form is a beautiful thing.
Looks like a great bundle!
Keep crayons and markers handy and easy to get to. My kids love to draw!
What a fantastic give away. My family loves art!
We do a lot of crafts that I find in Pinterest. A lot of recycling.
My kids work on “art project” during our read-aloud times. It helps to keep them focused and my daydreamer while I read.
Sorry for mistakes. Siri butchered that one! Should have said keeps them from daydreaming while I read!
We draw science pictures and make art projects in history.
We do crafts and they draw for fun
We draw, paint, color, sidewalk chalk & recently made an outdoor fairy village including a slide and pond!
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! I loved art as a child. This looks great.
My girls both love to craft and often create their own masterpieces with the supplies they’re free to use without supervision. While we haven’t done any formal art instruction this year, we’ve dabbled in multiple creative endeavors…knitting, painting, jewelry making…usually to make gifts.
Both of our grandsons love to draw/color so I always have art supplies for them to use.
My daughter is a passionate artist. She is always creating something
My daughter like to make pillows from scrap pieces of fabric and old T-shirts. She even made some bigger ones as dog beds for the local Humane Society. My oldest granddaughter makes wallets and checkbook covers out of duct tape for family and friends. Very creative. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone.
Wonderful art projects thank you for sharing and giving.
This is amazing.
In our home we love to craft and paint. The kids really enjoy it.
My daughter would love this! She turns 12 on the 28th and she loves art and her animals!
Love how you incorporated your art with other curriculum. My son, even though I don’t think of him as artsy, loves his art class with his friends.
Both of my older children are wonderful artists. I encourage them to create something everyday. They both have numerous books started that for sketching, etc.
I keep art supplies out and within reach for my kids to use when they want to. I encourage them to draw, paint, craft, etc. They see me creating quite often and want to join in with me. Thanks for the fab giveaway and for the chance to win!!
I really have been lacking in this area! Inspiring me as I think about next year 😁😉🙏
This is a wonderful giveaway!
Most of my kids spend time drawing every day and we own two different sets of art instruction DVDs that they enjoy watching. I am not a very good art teacher, but I do encourage my kids to do their own artistic thing. 🙂
My hope is they get comfortable with using the right tools for the look they want, and with the idea of creatively expressing themselves.
Did my reply post? My hope is that my kiddos get comfortable with creative expression and do not feel so self-conscious about their efforts.
We love doing art at our house. My nieces are very artistic. We also enjoy hanging paintings around the house to look at. 🙂
I have 5 artists who would love these supplies
This is my fave giveaway of yours yet! As an artist I’m always looking for interesting supplies to teach my kiddos.
This looks amazing, I love doing art with the kids, sometimes we don’t seem to make it to it during our day. One of my goals it to get there more this summer!
We do art projects weekly; I like to put up art from the kids around the house. I put up lots of art myself, the walls are definitely not lacking artwork.
Maybe these will help me teach art. I am definitely not am artiste!!!
I try to keep awesome supplies around for my granddaughter. She loves to draw. Thank you!
We did not do as many art projects as I wanted to this year. Our goal is to one weekly next year plus free drawing daily. My children love to draw and this would be a wonderful set for them. The lucky winner will be very blessed by this set.
I keep plenty of open ended art supplies available for my kids to use, and provide age appropriate curriculum options as requested by each child.
Anytime, anywhere! Always finding good art techniques on pinterest to try!
Thanks!
Our whole family loves to draw and paint! I am wanting to set up an art station and these items would be perfect!
I keep art supplies right where my kids can grab it. We do art all the time. It is a way to relax. This year we studied various artist and then tried our hand at their technique. This summer I am having their friends over to do art every other week.
One Way (of many): I ‘hide’ art supplies around the house. Whenever they are discovered by my son, he thinks he’s found a treasure and wants to use them to make something. (ex. ‘special’ pens, markers (metallic causes great excitement), unusual paper… etc)
I have several artists in my home and art supplies are always in high demand!
Thanks for all the giveaways and helpful info.
I don’t incorporate art into our home (I am not much of an artist), but the kids do! I just purchase the supplies!
I like to incorporate art into our home by having art supplies, coloring books & paper available to my children! As well as getting art & craft books from the library!
My kids love art, so there is often drawing and crafting going on. Sometimes it is parent led, but most often child led projects.
We use coloring and painting along with our major subjects. Example: color the correct number of birds for the problem. We also do art in our free time.
Great package Looks like it would be a great asset to any homeschool.
My daughter is pursuing a future in the art industry. She often is teaching her younger siblings art at our house.
My girls like to mix mediums when they color their art.
We LOVE art projects! The only problem is I try doing something with my little my everyday that is always based around whatever theme we are reading or working on for school. Not enough is done with my oldest.This would be an awesome kit for him.
My youngest loves art! I really think he might have a gift from God. He is already such a blessing but when he is creating he has a special glow about him.
Seth loves to create- painting, gluing, shaping clay. It helps him learn about the world around us while he learns about who he is and grows to discover who he wants to become
The kids enjoy finger painting once or twice a week
My little guy is still little, we do coloring, decorating with stickers, markers and I recently introduced him to finger paints. He was not thrilled, but liked painting with a brush. This set has stuff for both of us, thank you for an awesome giveaway. 🙂
Art is always encouraged and enjoyed in our home! My oldest four all love to draw and the younger ones enjoy things like finger painting!
Art can be incorporated I to so many parts if school, reaching and teaching different learning styles in so many ways. One way I have loved is to have the child illustrate a Bible passage. It makes them stop and think about the scripture before they can illustrate what it makes them think and feel.
We use Deep Space Sparkle and Pinterest mostly. But this next year we are going to try Charlotte Mason’s art appreciation pictures.
We are an artsy/crafty family. Art supplies are always readily available for whatever we want to use them for. I think kids are naturally drawn to colors & art. They use them with whatever the project. Writing their name in different colors, putting boarders around their papers, drawing on the backs of them, or drawing, coloring & or sculpting the subject of the paper. I use colored pens & pencils myself in my journals, the kids too, different colors for each child in the calendar & appointments. I use them in my housekeeping notebooks, bible study, etc. Art supplies & color are part of our everyday routines.
I have several artists in my home!! We use several drawing books, Great Artists, God and The History of Art, and Draw With Children. Pinterest is also fun to fine great ideas, like we did George Washington portraits Andy Worhol style in February. Thanks for all the awesome giveaways this week!!
My kids love Art time! It’s always fun to see what they come up with.
I would love to win this bundle! Both of my children love Art, so we try to incorporate learning many different techniques and styles in our weekly homeschooling. We are always running out of one thing or another, so this would be perfect to keep us crafting for a while.
My youngest would really enjoy using this during the summer.
This is a great giveaway!! We incorporate art in so much of our homeschooling. I am an artist myself and my children have just been raised around it.So that helps! I have lots of little artists in my home and I love seeing their creativity soar!
My step son has always been into drawing comics – everything from hockey related to Minecraft. And when I was a camp counselor at a zoo, I loved doing arts and crafts with the kids. So many ideas (and that was before Pinterest). As my two littles get older, we are starting arts and crafts projects together.
And we are trying to encourage my stepson to draw to go along with his role playing so that maybe someday he can get published.
Art is incorporated in our home by drawing and using color pencils and crayons. We love to color and have purchased numerous coloring books.
Marion
We do some nature journaling, and some study of artists and one or two of their pictures.
I like to look for non-traditional sources for art inspiration. When my daughter and I find something outside, even if we don’t actually get around to making it right then, we talk about all the things we could to with what we found.
We use art instruction on YouTube. SO many great ideas! Imagination is the only limitation!
We let be making crafts or art to send to family for birthdays!
This would be fantastic for my son as he has problems with school work especially art.
We do art often in our homeschool! We like to experiment with all different techniques/tools. The day we tried charcoal will never be forgotten, since our girls looked like little bearded men by the time they were done, after touching their faces so much. Art time is definitely a time for great creativity and relaxing and fun.
We incorporate 1X/week because it usually takes us a lot of time to do our projects. We try to add it in others ways when possible. It is a time enjoyed by all of us 🙂
Would love to win this to use for our Children’s Ministry!
My daughter absolutely love drawing, painting any all crafts in general. This would be great for us to have our first year of homeschooling!!
We have my daughters art everywhere. She is an artist.
My children have art supplies available whenever they want to use them, which is generally every day! I am an artist myself, so it is natural for me to incorporate it into our homeschool days. They have a display area in their room and a whole wall in the basement play room to put up their art!
My daughter loves art….I love watching her grow in her skills as she works independently.
What a wonderful art set. We love to incorporate art in our homeschooling.
My daughter loves art and has always pursued it on her own. She daily draws and practices keyboard and guitar. All self taught and motivated from looking up tutorials on You Tube.
What fun! Thank you for the chance to win!
I’m hoping to use art to help in bible memory.
My son enjoys drawing. Wants to grow up and be an architect!
Great giveaway, thank you!
Great giveaway, I know both my girls would love this!
It is easy to incorporate art in my home since my daughter is a talented artist and paints, draws and does everything. I have her art displayed all over my house.
We love the creative arts in our house! It’s very relaxing to create! 🙂
I love how you incorporate art into your school work. I have been tied to a curriculum and left art to the side for far too long. My plan is to kick the curriculum to the curb this next year and really incorporate art and music into things more. Thanks for the ideas!
We love art and always live great supplies!
Great ideas for art essentials! My kids have been enjoying our art time and these ideas will help to beef-up our supplies – thanks!
We make cards for the grandparents and others.
Usually something having to do with the unit we are studying
We do picture studies, copy art, free art, we visit art museums, and we enter art contests locally. My daughter has taken many art classes- in person and online, and we plan to continue to do so. (She is a creative child, so none of this is forced. For her, a day without art of some sort is like a day without eating)
I love teaching my kids art. It’s fun watching them create and I’m always surprised by how they interpret the projects.
Who doesn’t love art, we do art daily!
What great ideas! And your boys are so talented! I am not a great artist, but do appreciate good art. So far my boys are better than me!
This would be a dream come true for my daughter. She can never get enough art supplies.
This is awesome! My oldest espeically would love this giveaway, and I will definitely have to come browse through your website for art project ideas, I hadn’t even discovered that part of your site until this post! Thank you for sharing, we love art but I have never been sure how to teach it, so we just bumble along right now 🙂
What a great giveaway. My daughter woulvelove it.
I do not incorporate art as much as I should.
Mostly sketching with Daddy. Flower arranging with Mommy!
We love art!
We are just beginning homeschool and I want to incorporate art into our day but have not yet.
This would be so fun! My youngest son calls art class – crafting class, he LOVES it!
My youngest loves art and my oldest well, won’t admit it but does enjoy it. I’d like to incorporate more of it into our day. That is one of my goals for next years homeschool, make time for more art projects.
My kids love to paint and draw cartoons
We have our kids’ art hanging up all over the house. Walls are for covering, right? New art materials are always fun for everyone.
My girls love to explore with art; I never seem to have the right supplies. This looks fantastic.
My son loves art!
My children would love this!
This is an awesome gIveaway. Since I do not meditate I love to color.
We color (with markers, crayons, and colored pencils) almost every day. My 5 year-old loves art and will create wonderful projects using her own unique style. My boys also love making art with paint, glitter, and markers. My 1 year-old pulls out the paint and asks to finger paint almost every day!
I don’t have kids at home anymore, but I will use these tips with kids at church and with my grandkids
Great give away for a little crafter!
We do a LOT of pen and ink drawing, but we also use every other art medium we can get our hands on!
My children love to draw and my daughter loves all sorts or arts and crafts.
I LOVE art supplies. My three girls all love art as well.
We signed up for an art class for homeschoolers at a local art center, because we just don’t do enough in our home.
My daughter love Art. This would be a great gift for her.
We have art once a week and I usually look for the project on Pinterest that morning.
My children learn best when the touch and make things with their hands. We love art
I struggle with fitting it all in. I’m in the process of setting up an art table so that the supplies will be readily available and will not have to be moved around. Hopefully this will encourage an artistic pursuit in our home. This giveaway would be an awesome start!
We love art at our house. From sidewalk chalk outside to watercolors inside…. playdough is always a favorite of our littles. Our oldest daughter loves to make jewelry and doll clothes. Our oldest son loves creating comics and lego stop-motion films. Our whole family has had a great time making doll houses together to give as gifts to other little people we know. They started out very simple, but our ideas keep growing. Super fun!
Art in our homeschool is the BEST part!
We incorporate art mostly naturally – my child already loves it and seeks the learning of it through books and videos. Occasionally we look at pieces of Art and discuss, or architecture depending on what we are studying in history at the time.
My little artist would love this set! He would rather have art supplies than toys! My husband made him a vent box to try air brushing and he picked up the tool wrote his name and drew an outline of a dino. Picasso ( his nickname) strikes again! It took the rest off us several tries each just to write our names! Good luck all!
I stock up on markers, crayons, paper, and pencils in the back to school sales. That way we always have supplies on hand for the kids to create whatever they desire.
My oldest loves to draw, and the little one loves to color. I need to do more “formal” art projects.
my son is older now and we do drawing and painting and utilize computer programs. we get inspiration from books and on line. when he was young we would do arts and crafts like paper machier, beading, clay, coloring (which we are getting back into with adult coloring books)
My oldest son has wanted to be an artist for years. He is almost 10 but I find it difficult to find time for “art.” However, I keep colored pencils and crayons available, as well as paper. My younger son sometimes spontaneously makes a project. Both of them and my oldest daughter (2) like to draw. I would like to take time for more formal drawing and projects. As a music teacher, I make my boys practice the piano regularly, and guitar as well, although they might be surprised that that is “art.”
We incorporate art any way we can. We do picture studies, paint outside, use clay, make paper dolls, and follow instruction based art from art hub for kids. I am always looking for new art ideas. Thank you!
We have a craft room and display are creations throughout the house.
Wow! Wonderful package! Would love to use with my daughter.
We love coloring and things with creativity but all this looks amazing since it’s great to branch out and try new things.
My son loves to draw! WE have sketched in the past. but I think painting would be fun too.
We use curriculum and some kids just draw for fun.
Great way to incorporate faith moor in our everyday lives!
Looks like a lot of fun included!
We really need to do more art at home. This looks like a wonderful thing for the summer!
We try to incorporate art with our Tapestry of Grace curriculum. We paint, draw, create salt maps, etc. We love doing art!
We try to do art everyday to help with sensory processing issues.
Your journal pages are beautiful and inspiring and make me want to scrap all my lesson plans and just do THAT! 😀
I do the best I can to foster creativity in my kids. Every other week or so I try to to an art activity with them. It’s hard, though, because I’m so NOT artsy.
This would be so.helpful for my children! They love art, and their mother is woefully lacking in this area!!
Right now art in our home is hit and miss. Whenever the kids beg me enough to paint something! I hate the trouble and mess. I would love to hire someone to do art with them because I know it’s important.
Our children love art and this would be an excellent kit to have!
We do art with many subjects. While mom reads, my girls draw something related and then label it (or I add the text if there is a lot to say!). Or they creatively color maps. Other times they cut out Famous Figures or even paint while I read. We also have a weekly art topic (with Hillyer’s Art of Painting) and do “art camps” in the summer, which are usually free youtube tutorials. My oldest, a boy, rarely did art, but my younger girls just naturally incorporate it in almost every subject!
We like to color, paint and make all kinds of crafts.
My budding artist would love this set! 🙂
This is very informative. Thank you for sharing! Thank you for having the giveaway, as well. I would love to win, but will congratulate whomever is the winner.
This is an awesome giveaway! Thank you Danika!
Hoping for some cool art tools!
I don’t teach much art but I let my girl have fun when I’m not afraid of mess.
We need to incorporate more art into our schedule. My kids would love it but I do tend to postpone it.
My children love including art in their school day! This set is wonderful!
I’m not very good at including art in our home but I do allow the children to spend a lot of time drawing and coloring. Lately, they’ve been watching a series about missing art on Netflix with my husband that is exposing them to some of the great pieces of art (and some fascinating history, it is remarkable how often the Nazis come up in the series).
My kids can almost always be found coloring, painting, or building with play doh, so I let them do their own unorganized art for now. Once they’re a bit older I want to do more picture studies and focus on types of art and techniques.
We incorporate in various reading lessons or gift-giving ideas.
We have more time for creative projects in the summer. Perfect timing.
I am one of the least artistic people ever so I just let them color and draw whenever they want. My 9 year old daughter LOVES art and is really talented! She would love this set.
I usually draw or paint in my home every day. I take some time away from my desk and use watercolors or colored pencils and release some stress. Sometimes my husband will draw with me. We’re both into graphic design, so art is a pretty often occurrence in our home!
I would love to introduce my grandchildren to all the different art forms.
Art is a big deal in our house. What a great giveaway!
Working on it – quilting, painting, crafting, pom pom pets. I have not investigated colored pencils or drawing pencils or various paints so this giveaway would give us a chance to trials some great art supplies.
I display my granddaughters artwork in my home, it’s my favorite.
What a fantastic giveaway! 🙂
This would be great to have. I am useing my granddaughter’s art supplies for now Thank you for the offer.
Thank you!
We color or do a craft every day with Bible Road Trip. Also, my 1st grader uses different mediums to decorate her MFW Bible notebook, but we only have a few basic options to choose from. Thank you for the chance to win and for Bible Road Trip!!
We do lots and lots of crayon and pencil drawings and an art lesson from a kids art book here and there. 🙂
We do art with FIAR, science, and the Bible. My girls favorite is acrylic but I prefer colored pencils. We would LOVE to have more art supplies!
Free coloring & drawing, nature sketches and co-op art class are how we currently do art. Occasionally, I remember to do a picture or artist study as I mean to! I can always use more encouragement and tips for incorporating art well.
My children love art but it doesn’t come naturally to me. I would love this kit to help me out in this area!
All my kids are artisiticaly talented so it didn’t take a lot of coaxing to incorporate art in the home. I continue to encourage them to try different styles and techniques with it.
We incorporate art in a less than structured way and not as often as I’d like. A kit like this would offer some inspiration!
Love this post! Awesome giveaway!
My daughter is quite the artist with pencil and charcoal drawings and my grandsons are doodling and using crayons. Years ago I loved drawing and using pastels but don’t do it as often now, thanks!
This is great idea. Some of the art books I’ve looked at contain this long list of supplies. What happens if you buy all this expensive stuff that you don’t like working with? I like that you’ve narrowed it down to a few essentials that don’t have to be really expensive or require lots of space.
We do activities like draw the silly adjectives and nouns. They learn words and art at the same time.
We love art in our house…this set would be awesome to win!!
Unfortunately, we don’t do art very often because I don’t know what I am doing (we have used dvd instruction occasionally). That being said, I try to provide supplies for my kids to use as they want, and now my middle daughter is expressing interest in art so I know I need to start putting it on our schedule regularly.
We study the artists and then try and paint the way they did. Thanks so much for the give away!!!
I love doing art with both my kids. My daughter has been the one to enjoy it the most. She can spend hours drawing!
My 3 art-loving kiddos would love this.
Would love this!
We currently own and use some of these but are about to run out, so the timing is perfect. Also I have been wanting to get my daughter a good art journal/sketchbook but it hasn’t been in the budget. A brand new empty book is just the thing to inspire her.
We love finding books about various artists!
This is such a lovely art giveaway! We would be blessed to have it in our home! If we win, we shall send you pics of our art!
My 10 year old would love this. She enjoys art.
My daughter loves to draw and paint. We display her work throughout the house.
We keep art supplies handy and have an art station.
My daughter has an absolute love for all things creative!!! She is only 5 and she inspires me with her creativity! This would be perfect!
I love art and doing art with my friends at home!
We love to sketch!
We paint, draw, color, cut and paste! 🙂 Sometimes, with my 4-year-old all in the same day.
We love drawing, coloring, and painting.
We all do our own thing. I have a daughter who crochets and paints, one who draws and paints and my three little boys are always drawing and using colored pencils. I personally enjoy sewing and cross stitch but I would love to be able to paint, too!
Thank you for this post. The eye opener for me was the canvas board. It will make it easier for my daughter to paint more often if I get the board to use. Takes up less space as well.
I’m not as good as getting it in as I should, although I love art.
We love art here and crafts!!!! Major over here!!!
It just doesn’t happen during the schoolyear. We pick one day/week in the summer and do something with art that day each week. It’s easy, fun, and fits our schedule without making me feel pressured during the schoolyear.
I must pin this post. Great resource for art supplies for the kids. I love the How Great Thou Art books and just need supplies.
We are just beginning to incorporate art into our days, starting with drawing.
My son is pretty artistic. He likes to draw and build things.
I love to make jewlery and sew clothes, both of which i guess in a way decorate the house, as well as painting
Awesome art ideas. Thank you for sharing them. I am trying to find ways to incorporate more art into our day, as my daughter is so creative and loves any art.
It’s funny, because I’m an artist, and yet it’s hard for me to incorporate art in my homeschool. I’ve been grateful for co-op this year.
It was easier with my oldest…he would see what I was doing and want to do it too. Easy teaching. Maybe I’m just not doing as much myself now that I’m homeschooling…and maybe that needs to change.
My children all enjoy art, but my youngest would really like to learn more about it. It’s something I want to incorporate more of into our homeschool program.
I’m not a great hands-on kind of mom, so I admit to being a little slack on “art” as a homeschool subject! But my kids love to create, so I try to keep all kinds of fun things on hand and just let them find their own way. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think it is great that you are putting so much effort into encouraging young children to experiment with art expressions.
I love for my children to learn about art and to be creative.
I’ve been just itching to get more art supplies for homeschooling, winning would be so awesome!
My granddaughter and I do art projects together after school so this would be great for us!
My kiddos would love this!
If I win this, I’m not sure if I’d use it for myself or give it to my youngest. He loves arts and crafts. I’d probably share it between the both of us. 🙂
We like to paint mostly, but we do try to get creative with our bin of recycled items
Art is a must at our house! It helps us get through the rest of the school day!!
You can never have too many art supplies!
Great selection of art supplies! We need more art in our homeschool!
I think art is a great outlet not only for creativity but also for stress. Sometimes I think we can over complicate it In thinking we have to do so much more. Thanks for the chance to get some great supplies
Many of my children love to draw/color. We usually hang what they’ve created for at least a short time and we give them as gifts. We have a number of art lesson dvd’s so they can expand their techniques.
My eldest daughter, only 10, LOVES to draw and is SUPER talented! She would LOVE to receive art supplies and it would be even better if she didn’t have to use her allowance to purchase them! 🙂 Love the site!
We incorporate art any way we can. Sometimes it goes along with literature, sometimes with history or science. And if we don’t have any art planned for the day, my kids often draw or paint on their own.
We usually will do artwork that relates to the unit we are working on.
Sometimes we’ll just get artsy on the days that we need to do something different. 🙂
I’m awful at incorporating art – at least anything formal. Sure, we have lots of supplies readily available and I don’t mind the mess at all, but I’m not very intentional about art education.
Son is taking art class right now. Would be a great asset.
My daughter LOVES art. She seems to have a natural gift that I see her developing on her own. She would be thrilled to win this!
We try to do a creative/art day at least once a week where I get out random mediums for my kids to experiment with.
I’ve been using some online tutorials for my four year old. He loves the gentle, age-appropriate direction and that he can create a drawing that looks like what he wants it to look like (great for his confidence and growing fine-motor skills). I’ve also been using a “nature” journal, where he gets to draw what he wants from outside the window or in the backyard (weather depending).
My daughter Loves art. This pack has almost all of her esentials. With this many supplies maybe even the boys will dive in.
I encourage my kids to do art when they are inspired to create. I try to answer “yes” when they ask.
I struggle to incorporate art into our regular routine. I have 1 child out of 6 who is particularly artistic & he definitely helps me remember more often, but we can always do better. This set looks like it would encourage some more involved projects.
Myson loves to draw and paint steam engines
We are always doing some type of art project. I have been redecorating all around my house and making my own wall art. My kids love to help me paint, stain picture frames, draw chalkboard art, spray paint vent covers, etc. My kids love any type of art project!
My little artist would love this.
Art is incorporated in our home via coloring (a lot of it), sketching (we recently stumbled across Art for Kids Hub on YouTube and the guy is great) and anything we see on Pinterest that isn’t too daunting for mommy.
I decorate the house with my kids art
We try to incorporate art into History and Science as often as possible. Art is a great way to help check up on reading comprehension, and to break up frustration with difficult concepts. I love the canvas board idea! I didn’t know that was an option, and will have to check that out for my niece’s birthday too.
Both of my kids love art! We incorporate art everyday! We may do a painting or just a simple drawing and coloring but we do it everyday! We notebook a lot in our homeschool so we incorporate it there too. My daughter has been asking for a while if we could incorporate an official art curriculum and I haven’t because I don’t really know where to start!! This would be perfect for us to jump start our lessons!
We incorporate art into our homeschool in History, Science & studying the arts. One of my daughters is very artistic & paints ant chance she can get.
One of my guys loves to draw, paint and carve. The other is not so “typically” artistic, but he does draw funny cartoonish stick figures! 🙂
Thanks for this give away!
I love crafty stuff but don’t have much time for it…sigh. I would love to be able to have something like this for my nieces or nephews though. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I’m not artistic at all, but when I knew I could draw a stick man better than my child we started adding simple how to draw lessons. I then have him write a couple sentences about what he drew. He’s in 1st grade so I don’t require a lot of writing.
I have an 11 year old girl that would love this!
What a great art giveaway thank you , nancy timbrook
We do various art and craft projects during our homeschool time. My sweet artistic child also spends much of her free time doing art throughout the week.
We do art spontaneously, in spurts. My 5 year old recently glued a piece of kale to the top of a baby carrot to make it look more real, and then glued it to a picture she made for me.
Cool!
My 23 yo daugther with special needs loves, loves, loves art. This is a great giveaway for anyone who loves art
my kids love art and being creative…but I’m not great at incorporating it. Usually, it’s done on free time, unplanned. Sometimes we follow youtube tutorials, and have been involved in several co-op art classes.
Would love this as I am just starting homeschooling with my 4 children. Art is so important for them to thrive and be well rounded. There are so many aspects of art that I want to encourage. Thank you for this opportunity.
I don’t do a good job of incorporating it. But my children love to sketch things on their own, from fantastical animals to house plans to creating geographical maps of imaginary countries.
My totally homeschooled son is a graphic artist for a print shop; now the grandchildren come and want to do art projects. Cutting and pasting are favorites at the moment!
Art is something that spontaneously occurs, with some of my children more than with others. In other words, it is not something I plan or facilitate, but I do try to have quality materials available for my kids.
My boys have nature notebooks. They also enjoy creating random masterpieces. 😉
We do an art project as a family every other Friday night.
We use Drawing with Children and Child-size Masterpieces in our homeschool for learning to draw and art appreciation.
I’d love to have the sharpies!
I have four budding artists-this would be a wonderful addition!
My children are creative, and I am not! But, I’ve never minded the mess when I keep the end product in mind. Their art has amazed me over the years, to say the least. I believe that the key is to surround them with ample materials, and to be patient with the process.
What a great giveaway!
Our kids do craft and art projects a bunch! Lately we’ve been having fun with markers now they are older and not inclined to draw on walls. LOL
What a wonderful set of art tools!
We’ll all of my kids have taken art summer camp classes and with my youngest we have purchased her some basic art supplies and she works on projects with her dad
I try to incorporate it into our daily lessons and during free time.
With 7 artistic kids in the house I’m sure these wouldnt last long but they sure would be a blessing
giveaways are great, thanks for having them.
I keep art supplies handy, and most of them are accessible for my daughters so they can do art whenever they spontaneously feel like it. We also have them include pictures in letters to family and friends.
Drawing and coloring.
My kiddos (and I!) would love to win this wonderful set! Thanks!
I do lessons both on artists, as well as different kinds of art and doing different art projects. I could definitely use this help to make our lessons more dynamic, and to give us some new material. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
We participate in a coop. I have bought art curriculum, but rarely make the kids do it 🙁
What awesome tools to anchor what you’ve learned!
I have a wonderful little artist who is now 8 years old. We keep a box of fun items to use for art projects, and he creates all kinds of art with them. If I hear “I’m bored,” there are always chores and then some art to do.
We do art each week in co-op & also do lots of painting & drawing at home in connection with our science, history & Bible studies.
We use drawing with children…. and try to do artwork during quiet time…
Our walls are covered with scripture verse pictures! We love scripture verse coloring pages and put them on our fridge or mail them to friends and missionaries.
Hi. Right now we usually just do small craft projects. Nothing too messy.
The graphic artist in me always gets excited when I see supplies.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway. 🙂
All 3 of my daughters enjoy drawing, but my oldest is the real artist in the family. We used to keep a lot more supplies around when she was younger, so this is a reminder that we need to replenish a little bit for the younger ones.
I keep my DD stocked with all kinds of art supplies – paints & canvases, sketch books & pencils, how-to helpers… She LOVES to create! I’m not very good about making sure my kids have time for art, but I do encourage her efforts where I can.
We are always using things we want to recycle to make art projects and we used Art with a Purpose last year. Keeping nature journals.
Linda
We usually look up art projects on pinterest, and I’ve signed my daughter up for a couple of art classes.
thanks for the chance to win.
I have a wall with just my grandson’s creations he has made.
My kids are creating constantly. I have an area of supplies for them ready on hand whenever they want them.
we’re always doing some kind of a DIY project for our home
We usually don’t. MY kids do love to draw so they are usually doing that in a sketch book.
I’ve tried teaching actual art lessons but they just generate more groans and moans than anything else. But if I get out supplies and find an interest, they’ll sometimes create for ages on their own!
My daughter is always drawing and creating!!
Art supplies are in full view the entire day. We do community art activities at local museums on a weekly basis as well.
My kids can never have too many art supplies… now if they would just keep the paint off the tablecloth….. cheap vinyl ones for a while….
My daughter loves all things art. This would be great for her.
we like to make all our own holiday decorations and a lot of the decor throughout our home.
My youngest daughter loves to draw, she’s really good and she loves it! I put my desk in our living room and I set out some art/craft supplies. They love the glitter pens, paint of course and someone is usually color in our house.
Good art supplies are always in demand here.
My Kids love art and this would be such a great gift. Thank you for the giveaway!
Thank you for the chance to win this, my son (he will be 5 June 8th) loves to color, paint, and make animals with clay. It’s one of our favorite things that we do together, it’s like our family/relaxing time. We do it almost every day, and we talk about our day, just enjoying each others conversation and coloring. We would absolutely love this! 😊
I keep lots of craft supplies myself. I love to create things with my hands and share it with whoever wants to join me!
I was just working to come up with a plan and list of supplies we need to add art to our homeschool day this year. I would love to be able to incorporate these in our day. Thank you for the opportunity to win them!
My kids have access to select art supplies whenever they want and we have our other supplies handy for special projects
We love art! It was one of my favorite classes as an elementary child; and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…My 11 year young daughter loves art too, is a good drawer and is definitely a strong visual learner.
Thank you for this contest too!
Numbers 6:24-26,
Rosemary
Grandpa and I will gladly sponsor Jasmine in this contest!
art is the favorite subject at our house!
My daughter loves all arts and crafts! This would be great for her!
This past year I incorporated it into our history lessons.
My son loves to color.
This is awesome!!
We do an art curriculum weekly, but my children also journal and draw about books they read, documentaries they watch. I have a supply of good drawing pencils and pens, gel pens, colored pencils, watercolors.
This is awesome, my kids will love it
I don’t incorporate a whole lot of art. I do try to make sure I have a variety of materials available for my children, especially my daughter. She will often find projects online which she wants to try so I want to have a variety of materials available.
Awesome! My oldest son would love this!
Wow, beautiful work! Thank you for the inspirations! I also love to do art with my children. I know now that we will most definitely try those Egyptian masks!
These tools look great. Thanks for the tips and giveaway!
i usually take my kids to an art class once a week… but i believe i’ll look into art for our homeschool.
Fantastic ideas, and love your art examples.
Art is a very important part of our day
I don’t specifically incorporate art in our homeschool, but all three of my children did art at co-op this past year. They loved it so much! I just bought frames to display their art pieces on our stairwell, because they did so well. I hope to better incorporate the art on my own with them. They are very good artists.
We are always reading and making art projects around our house! My granddaughter loves to write and illustrate her own homemade books.
My kids really like watching youtube tutorial videos – and the best part is they’re free!!
Right now we are using Mark Kistler drawing and loving it, but we do a variety of other projects. Thank-you for the chance to win.
I always intend to do more art lessons than we do! Great supplies would help that.
My children love art. They would love this kit.
We have some Usborne art books that we use for ideas and a starting point, but we don’t do art as often as I’d like, even though it’s something that we really love. Thanks for the great ideas and the chance at a giveaway!
I actually teach art classes in my home for other homeschool students. My son always joins in, or becomes my art assistant! I would love to receive these supplies to use in my classes and tell them where I got them! I would also love to give some of the things to the families I teach!
Most of the time my kids are on their own. I myself am not very artsy. Sometimes I find something to do but not often enough for them
What a great giveaway! I am not that artistic so this would help my kids have art in their lives.
I have a workbook they work from. I am wanting to do more for this next year.
My kids are still trying to discover what medium they like to use. Every day is an adventure!
My daughter loves art and we make sure to add it in as much as possible. I love hearing other tips on this.
We have a drawer full of art supplies that my 2 and 3 year old can access pretty much whenever the urge to create strikes.
These look great!
Thanks for so many wonderful ideas!
The kids paintings decorate the walls.
Love art and would like to be the winner, thanks for having the giveaway.
Thank you…this looks like a fantastic thing since we’re heading into Ancient times in the fall.
My girls love to color and to make things for people – that is one way we incorporate art into our home.
I try to incorporate Art into other subjects such as Science, Math, or History. I also provided some time for my daughter to do Art in her free time exploring different mediums. She LOVES Art and would do it every day if she had the choice. We plan on having several Art parties here at the house during the summer months. We hope to gather a few of our friends and family members together to create personal masterpieces.
Being made in the image of God, we are all creative. Art, in its many forms, gives us each an outlet for that creativity and to learn the joy & satisfaction of seeing a unique work produced by our own efforts. Ok, philosophical statement made…
ART IS FUN! And it’s a great way to build relationships. And skills. And … 😀
THESE SUPPLIES ARE FANTASTIC. MY OLDEST WOULD LOVE THEM!
What neat art supplies and a great giveaway!
Wow! What a neat giveaway idea!!
My daughter likes to create story books. She usually works at her art desk.
All three of my children LOVE art! These would be a great help in encouraging their passion for art!
This set looks great!
We don’t get around to art as often as we would like. This year we have focused on art history and on drawing technique. We’ve also made some origami and done crafts. I try to keep good art supplies constantly available for the kids to use whenever they are in the mood to create!
My little girl adores art! Would be awesome for her homeschooling we are going to have instruction all summer. Art supplies will help keep her interested!
We have as we call it, an activity table that has art supplies set out for our kids to use at any time. We have lots of refrigerator art since setting up the activity table.
This looks fabulous!
My daughter loves art!
Art happens through history projects and drawing notebooking pages.
Awww!! This is awesome!! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win these great art supplies!!
The children write and draw in a notebook every day. Some of them love to make it pretty and others hurry through.
Our kids are often inspired by recycled materials. They love to create with cardboard tubes and various lids. They use crayons, glue and tape to create all kinds of things.
My daughter loves art! It is random and fun – usually involves blank paper and whatever drawing medium she grabs. They have been “lusting” over the Sharpie multi-color marker set for a LONG time!
We do lots of art in our home. We mostly use crayons, color pencils and construction paper.
I have two young ones really getting into arts and crafts, thought we haven’t done much yet. This would be great for them!
Awesome giveaway, my girls are really into creating/coloring art! My youngest was just talking the other day about wanting water colors.
My daughter loves art and animals. Nothing is better than combining her love of the two. Drawing and painting animal scenes is one of her most favorite things to do.
We do art all the time. I am very crafty and am always involving my daughter in as many projects I can. We do painting on canvas, cork animals, recycled plastic bottles…we try many projects.
Art rarely happens in our house, which makes me sad, because I loved art as a kid. In high school I had to choose art or orchestra, so my freshman year was the last time I had an art class. I really want to start doing more art in our next school year.
I’m an artist, so art happens in our house very organically. We always have odds and ends of supplies around, from my pens/paints to a kid-sized potter’s wheel to bathtub paints and crayons. The kids enjoy painting or drawing with mama or by themselves,
Another fantastic giveaway!! Thank you! I was impressed by the examples of artwork that you shared and loved the ideas for upper elementary, middle school and high school grades on your Pinterest page. I’m feeling more confident at finally including art into our day. Thank you again.
My kids love art! They are always making things on there own! This would be great!
My daughter is a huge art fan and enjoys painting and sculpting and all kinds of art. My son isn’t quite as enthusiastic, but I have him do projects, too and he actually does pretty well. It’s great for the kids to have a way to express themselves in so many different ways.
My kids come up with their own art projects. They borrow books from the library for projects or make it up as the go. They use adhesive craft foam, craft sticks, beads, paint, clay etc.
We do crafts, scrapbook and make homemade items (especially slime)!
Art is so vital to any child’s education!
We study the Bible with art and love it!
We do a lot of crafts, scrapbook and make homemade items (especially slime)!
We have art supplies in a cabinet and we usually do an art product almost every day.
*project
What an awesome giveaway! We homeschool during the summer (temp extremely high most of the day), so it would come in handy for our summer art projects 🙂
We don’t have set art. My kids just make crafts as they please. I would love to have something more structured!
Thank you for offering a chance at winning supplies for us mommas with tight budgets! Good luck to all!
The creative arts happen more than fine art, hoping for that to change in the home this school year
I’m crazy excited about this! *Insert squeaks of excitement here.* We would love to incorporate this in our home. Fingers crossed 🙂
My kids love art! I am not as good about incorporating it as I would like. Something I am thinking about as I plan for next year! 🙂
Art in our house is usually crafts, outdoor creations or culinary.
We do formal art lessons on Fridays using Draw Write Now. My kids, especially my 7yo boy, watch art lessons often and do art that way (almost daily). I would love these for my all of my kids, but I know my 7yo would put them to great use.
This looks awesome, who can’t use more art supplies!
This kit is perfect! My kiddos love to paint! Thanks for the opportunity to enter into this raffle.
We love art! Awesome giveaway! With 5 kids, we go through art supplies way too quickly! These supplies would help us take it to the next level!
These supplies look great! My daughters love art.
We do a lot of painting in our house hold. I do have a son who loves to create things with stencils too. I have not found an art class that I have felt comfortable with though our church hosts an art class for home schooling families that we may look into next year.
Art happens because my children love to draw and create. They lead the learning!
Art for us right now is just ‘crafting’ on break days. I always have good intentions of incorporating it into our schoolwork but end up bogged down in just trying to get the basics done. I do have one art oriented child though who I like to keep supplied with good quality art supplies.
I have a budding anime artist, and she would absolutely love this art set.
Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
Right now art is pretty open-ended (my kids are 5 and 2). I give them the materials and let them create. I would like to do more formal lessons (without abandoning the time for them to just explore materials) and study artists. We have used an Usborne how to draw book to work on drawing with my 5 year old, and she loves it.
We love art too. Would love some good colored pencils and watercolors.
Art is a very ‘when-they-want-to’ subject in our home. The kids draw, paint, make graphic novels, build, and design. My older child loves to paint and draw, and she has just begun designing her own doll houses out of foam board, hot glue, and household items–right down to the furniture. My younger child loves to draw comic books, build models, and sculpt. We also use fine art pages, as well.
This would be great for my daughter. Awesome giveaway!
I think of you as the Bible curriculum lady. I never knew you majored it art!

This is an Awesome giveaway!
It usually happens when my kids decide to draw or color on their home.
Sounds awesome!
What a great list and description of each item!
Art happens spontaneously. The supplies are left where people can get to them and they draw or paint whenever they feel the urge.
We do art combined with history or science. I also keep art supplies available for whenever they feel inspired.
Looks amazing! 🙂
We love to paint, color and work with clay. Love the items.
My child experiments with different drawing techniques both on the computer and in a sketchbook. Also we tend to research a method (and try it out) through the internet or a book. We also study artwork as we go in other subjects. One thing I truly believe about good and meaningful artwork is that it should come from inside the artist not just be an assignment.
Lots of drawing, coloring, and painting around here!!
My kids would love this! We never seem to have enough supplies because they are constantly making something…last night was a spyglass.
This looks great! We love good art supplies!
My boys love to draw! This would be a blessing for our homeschool! Thank you for doing this. Good luck to all!!!
Open Ended Art: supplies are available to my kiddos & they create what they like at this point. We will be starting art appreciation this summer/fall for school.
We have art materials openly available in our art bins. The kids also do Meet the Masters every Friday …. we love it.
We haven’t started art yet He’s in Kinder right now, I let him doodle about his books he reads
All the work presented is beautiful. My kids would love this, too!
Such cool project ideas! We just studied Ancient Rome & made mosaics & cardstock/aluminum foil soldiers. We love incorporating art into our other studies.
My son does some art at school. We try to replicate and practice them at home too.
Art is basically spontaneous here. I would like to be more intentional about it. This would be such a blessing to win this giveaway!
I love this!! My boys love art and I find it helps improve everything else: spelling writing patience observation skills.
We make Valentine’s for each one in the family as well as other cards for other occasions.
Art is one of those things where I allow the children to explore. They recently found a lady that posts videos drawing emojis. They worked together well on their emoji projects. My oldest really loves word art as well.
What great resources! Thank you for the ideas and opportunity to win.
Art is my home consists of freestyle drawing and painting. I am not very artistic. Luckily my kids are.
Those are wonderful art supplies!
Wow- another great giveaway! Thank you. All 5 of my kids love to draw and love colored pencils. We are using Barry Stebbing books this year.
I love at and hope to instill that love in my son. Thank you for the ideas on how to incorporate at in school… Much more than just “how to draw/paint”!
I wish we did more. Most of them come from history projects in our studies.
Art happens a lot more often since I became a Classical Conversations Director and I have to try out all of our art projects. I have discovered that I love art as much as my kids, and we have embraced getting messy and enjoying learning about art together. All the art supplies look great, and we are interested in purchasing them if we don’t win. Thank you for suggesting some great products. 🙂
All the supplies would be wonderful! Art is one of our favorite subjects. ☺️
There’s always some kind of art going on here – creating books, comics, signs for pretend play, chalk drawings outside, and so on.
everyday and every way! every way possible- we do at least 3 arts or crafting projects a day, most not even in reference to HS activities! Add those in, and theres a reason I have a craft and arts oroom! lo- that is sorely low on supplies at the end of our school year! thanks fiir giveaway
Art happens in my home every day. Household objects are repurposed and used in creative ways. Expression through art is very important to us.
My oldest loves to color and doodle. She also likes draw. My youngest daughter loves to paint and draw.
This would be a great addition to our homeschool!
Unfortunately, not very well. When Mama isn’t an artist, it is a challenge. Maybe the right supplies would help 🙂
In our family, one child loves to experiment with different media (pencils, pastels and watercolors), while another sticks with comic book pencil drawings. And the oldest doesn’t love creating art as much as appreciating it. 🙂 So we do a combination of art appreciation using an actual curriculum and art projects that correlate to the curriculum, with each child determining what kind of project they want to do. Thanks for this giveaway. These art supplies look great!
My daughters are constantly creating works of art. They use anything they can get their hands on. Cereal boxes, scraps of fabric, old wrapping paper, tissue paper from gifts, old greeting cards, and anything else they can rescue from the trash is turned into something. They love being creative!
My kids love coloring and I try to do a more “formal” art lesson once a week or so. We do crafty things around Christmas but I definitely need more guidance!
Art usually consist of random drawing
Just randomly. I want to be more intentional about it.
My daughter is so into painting and drawing. This would be awesome to get her started!!!
Since I’m not an artist, at in our home is hard to come by. I love artwork and love having my grandmother’s art hanging on my walls. But passing that on to my son is a challenge. I would love to teach him how to appreciate art and experiment with his own talents.
We love coloring, taking painting class, & photography.
My kids love to color. They like to learn how to draw sitting down with Dad as he teaches them step by step drawing skills. These would be awesome.
I do a scheduled art project with my kids every week for school. My oldest child and myself also draw at other times. My youngest two also paint or draw quite a bit. My kids would be so excited if we won art supplies!
We just play around with art stuff most of the time and just see what each comes up with using their creativity.
Great ideas. I don’t do enough art projects with my crew. You have inspired me!
Art happens daily in our home since our daughter loves to draw both on paper and on the computer.
Our art is child-led. When I try to initiate a project things don’t seem to go as well as when I get out the supplies and follow there lead. We have a wide range of abilities and someone always feels “out” if I try to make them do something particular. This does not fit with my lesson plan type style but I’ve learned to let go and let God! I like that your giveaway is supplies and not a kit. We aren’t big kit fans. Keep up the good work.
My kids love to draw and color in their free time. And do as many art projects that I allow. These are great ideas. Thank you!
My daughter enjoys drawing, both on the computer and paper. Otherwise, art doesn’t happen very much.
All my children love art and this sounds like a dream giveaway. Thank you 🙂
We draw a lot
Art happens randomly in our house. Next year, I’m incorporating an Artist Unit study though, so hopefully art will be a more regular occurrence.
My two sons love art.
Art happens ALL THE TIME at our house! My daughter especially loves to watch step by step painting tutorials! Would love to be able to add these art supplies to our collection!
My girls love drawing so they spend a lot of time doing that. We also spend time doing sketches in our nature journal, water colors, pastels, and occasionally clay.
My daughter likes drawing people and animals.
We have a couple journals we do art in, but nothing much more than drawing and coloring with pens, crayons or markers. I love your boards on Pinterest! And thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Art is such a great way to make academic subjects seem less daunting and so much more fun! Kids can really connect with their God-given creative sides and use both sides is their brains.
The kiddos I homeschool use a variety of things, which usually amounts to whatever we can find, to make masterpieces, as well as connect with curricula.
Art is so much fun. It gives you a chance to be creative.
Marion
One of my kiddos draws pretty much everyday. She used to paint and craft more but now she mostly draws. We do have an amazing woman who teaches art classes in her home and I try to sign my kiddos up for her classes a couple times a year.
Amazing- I love this!
Art is my daughter’s favorite homeschool subject! She is always drawing and coloring. Gardens and scenery are her specialty. One of my sons loves to draw dinosaurs and comic strips!
We always incorporated art into our other subjects, usually History.
I’m excited to poke around your site. I teach a middle school arts and crafts class with our co-op and I’m looking for ideas for next year.
Mom of twelve. Art is. It even on my radar, but I have kids that do well. Trying to get over my own “I can’t teach this” hang up!
Art at our house comes in the form
Of dot dot markers, the chalkboard, coloring the pages we get from the library, and crafts!
Art is the kids favorite thing to do and we can use it in every subject.
Art supplies is one of our favorites in our homeschool!!
We occasionally do formal lessons, but we mostly add art to whatever we’re studying – famous artists in history, visiting museums, drawing in our journals, Bible art time at church, etc.
Thanks for this giveaway! We love art, too.
We love crafts! My oldest is a great artist and the others love to get into the drawers of art supplies once they are finished with the rest of their school work.
Wow such great art projects!
We love art at our house. I never really learned much about it growing up, so we are learning together! It has been a fun journey, and we love to add new skills and knowledge. I feel like we have soooo much to learn, but at least it’s fun learning 🙂
Art happens spontaneously at our home. Normally that is everyday. All three of my girls are very artistic and love to draw.
Art often happens in our home when my son grabs paper from the printer and sets out to illustrate a story he’s written, or to draw a diagram with pictures to explain something about minecraft 🙂
My daughter loves to draw! She is taking art lessons for painting. Fabulous giveaway!😃
My husband and I will paint with watercolors every now and then! We also like using colored pencils to sketch some designs for stress relief!
One loves to draw, make mindcraft characters out of construction paper, and also create 3D crafts with found boxes, etc. The other likes to make cards, layered construction paper pics, and pipe cleaner flowers to give to people we know.
This inspires me to include more art in our studies!!!
The girls do a lot of art of their own choosing in a wide range or media. We keep boxes of all sorts of art and craft supplies on hand and allow them free range to do whatever strikes their fancy. Once in a while, we require something in correspondence to a lesson. Mostly, it is independent.
I wish I could say we do art more often than we do, but we just don’t get to it often. We probably do a decent art project once a month or so with some smaller projects sprinkled in there. With more supplies I’d hope to get to it more often!
I love the idea (I think I saw it here, very possibly not because it was this morning) of using rimmed cookie sheets in the car for art or other homeschool stuff.
Thanks for this! My daughter loves art and I do not consider myself competent in it, so it’s good to have help as I encourage her passion!
Since our kids are teens, art looks like the girls looking up art techniques & subject ideas online on their own and drawing and/or painting anything they find interesting. All my husband & I do is buy the supplies!
Drawing and coloring happens everyday at our house. No structure or gudance. My kids love to paint but I’m so reluctant to pull out the art supplies because of all the mess they create. Especially with the new baby around I just don’t have the umph to let them go at it. However, this post is inspiring me to find a time for messy art projects!
My oldest daughter is the most creative. She can create something out of anything. We do a specific handicraft such as knitting, clay modeling each semester, keep nature journals, but also other art projects that reflect my daughter’s current imaginative whims. She’s never liked coloring in coloring books – she wants blank paper to draw her own drawings!
What a fun collection of art supplies! Would LOVE to try some new things and add to my current colllection of art supplies for my boys!
I’m not very artistic but want to help my kids develop their talents.
I’m not very artistic but I want to do what I can to help my kids develop their talents.
We do art frequently. Usually we do the projects side by side because it’s more fun for my son when we both create artwork and I enjoy it a lot!
art is an amazing way to relax ,be creative and express yourself. my niece would love this.
My youngest does art on his own, but we also used another curriculum, as well as use his sister, who is an art major in college. My oldest son likes to create with legos, and middle son is artistic with computer programming
Our a right now is fairly haphazard. My kids love to draw and color, but I would love to start giving them more direction and real projects.
My daughter LOVES to draw! Both of my children love to do crafts. I love the way you use a wide variety of mediums!
In our home, art usually looks pretty messy, but it’s very fun!! We do everything from YouTube art tutorials, to painting Egyptian masks
My children love art. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Awesome stuff!! Love love love art!
Teaching art does not come naturally to me, but my girls create every spare moment they can find – making bracelets, drawing clothing designs, painting nature scenes. Reading your blog is encouraging !
My daughter constantly is creating ! I’m hoping to find ways to purposely build it in daily for both kids this upcoming year
Love this! I’m not an art person, but my kids love any art projects and we gift art kits for all of their friends’ birthday parties…they’ve been great for about age 2 up!
I enjoy using art to supplement my kids church classes. We’re a small church, so this would be a blessing!
We do a lot of coloring and drawing and my daughter loves to paint. I need to include art more in what we do, but it’s been difficult with the addition ofa baby that eats art supplies.
My kids adore art and even though they’re still quite young we often have craft time where we experiment with different art and craft projects. It is pretty much their favorite part of any day.
Beautiful artwork! Very inspiring for a non-artistic mom. My kids love to draw and paint. And because of homeschooling, I’ve actually learned to draw as well, by using the Draw Write Now books my kids used.
I definitely have an artist in my oldest! I personally love to doodle. 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!!
We love art supplies and creating 😊
We love art and new art supplies 😉
Art looks like chaos in my home. My 16 year old daughter is the “color” artist with many different forms (chalk, pencils, ink, watercolor), while my 13 year old son enjoys sketching with black pencil. This would be a wonderful set!
Unfortunately, art doesn’t happen in my home that much any more. Need to make it more of a priority. When Community is in session, we do art there a lot.
We love art at our house and try to get in some sort of art everyday. We go through supplies like crazy so this would be amazing for us!
Art is always happening in our home. I teach a weekly class with friends which varies greatly between artist studies, seasonal projects, and projects inspired by picture book art. We draw every day while the Word is being read. And then they create… Whenever and however.
art happens when ever the urge hits. From random sidewalk chalk to painting they can try it all.
We love to do art, so much so that I dedicate Fridays entirely to art and creative writing.
I am not a real artsy mom….but my littles love to draw and color all the time. My oldest is quite the artist…she draws and does digital drawing all the time!
Can’t wait to look at some of the inspiriation links!
Our latest project was painting rocks to hide around our hometown. This is a new activity started by a few and grown exponentially through facebook. We generally do spontaneous art projects. Hoping to make them more regular happenings this year!
I am not an artsy mom but my little kids love to draw and color all the time. My oldest is a budding digital artist and she is an amazing artist.
Sounds amazing my daughter loves art
My son loves arts and crafts. He is really big into paper crafting, and does lots of origami, coloring and making all sorts of his own creations. He also loves to paint and draw/write comics.
My girls love art! Thanks for the great suggestions!
My kids love making things out of polymer clay. They also love painting and drawing.
My kids love art
We love new art supplies!
What kind is of polyurethane do you use for art projects? The link above goes to sculpt clay. Thank you
Thanks for the great article. I really enjoyed seeing some of the art projects you’ve done with your children. My daughter loves to draw and create, I could use some inspiration to incorporate art into our curriculum and tie it to studies we’re doing. I will be checking out your pintrest boards! Also, thanks for offering the great giveaway. Very generous prize package.
Formalized art instruction does not take place nearly as often as I would like it to. However, my kids do love to draw, paint, play with clay, etc. when they have free time.
What a wonderful offer!
Usually art in our house is started by my kids. They don’t need prompting, they just get out the supplies and do their own thing. Next year I’ll be homeschooling and adding in some “lessons” to make it a bit more structured. They’ll still have plenty of opportunity to create on their own though 🙂
Art really doesn’t havppen much in our home because I do not know how to teach it.
My girls really enjoy art! We would really like more art supplies!
WOW! This is a popular contest! Art happens daily at our home, some planned projects, most just come from my kid’s imagination. We always need supplies, thank you!!
My granddaughters like to finger paint and color.
Art is an amazing part of school. I love introducing new things to my boys.
My 5 year old does art every day! She is constantly creating with paint, markers, crayons, pencils, glue, stickers, clay, etc. She loves creating!
Art is great to use to make learning about God fun. I love using art in my teaching at church.
These are some great art supplies and projects!
My girls love to color with pencils and markers. We have a closet full of craft supplies that they are encouraged to pull out anytime.
ARt comes in all forms in my house! We use many different tools we find at home.
My kids love to sketch and draw. We color and enjoy lots of different pictures.
We do unit studies and try to incorporate art into each one. My oldest is also doing an art basics course.
What a great giveaway!
We love art in our home!!
My children love art and this is a great giveaway! We would love to win.
Art takes many forms in our home – converting a cardboard box into a TV set (with my kids as the news anchors) or my daughter painting, drawing with pastels, crayons, markers, etc. Looks like this would be a great addition to our art supplies. Great giveaway!
My kids draw in notebooks during read-aloud time, then we talk about what they drew from the story. They also love to use paper, markers, tape and other craft supplies to work on their own creations after their seat work is done.
Art in our home (at the moment) usually comes in the form of handmade cards to send to people!
Sadly, art pretty much consists of coloring on scratch paper with whatever pencils, crayons or markers they find. Most of my art supplies have been packed up for nearly 3 years while we’ve gone through multiple housing transitions.
Thanks for the high school art link. It’s tough to find non-crafty art that still inspires the older kids.
Ive always had watercolors on hand for years, as well as colored map pencils and beewax-based crayons. I love the construction paper and watercolor paper from Millers paper. We are on a very limited budget, but I always make sure we have some supplies on hand. Winning this giveaway would help us out a lot, as we can use the supplies for a library-based art class that is taught by a great teacher and is inexpensive, but requires you to bring your own supplies.
We have several art project books that we do, and we also like art-based playdates. And who doesn’t like Bob Ross on youtube? There are a lot of fun art channels for kids on youtube as well.
We have done a few things for Art but I sure could use some help! We have created some beautiful chalk pastels as well as learning how to decorate cakes and cookies.
My daughter loves art. She does it everyday. I need to have my son try it. I think a art kit like this would be the thing. Thank you for a chance to win a art kit like this one.
Love your ideas here!
We do art once a week and use a video based art program. The kids like to do other crafty things ay random times other than art day. It can get a bit messy.
Everything we use for art here at home! Oy 7 year old daughter borrows and uses up without telling me!
Art is very spontaneous in my house. We have lots of craft supplies so whenever they feel like it my kids are crafting and creating. Structured art lessons are done with our classical conversations group
I work in art appreciation with several good books I’ve found. And I introduce projects I find online. But I also try to roll with what the kids are currently enjoying as far as artwork.
We don’t incorporate art as much as I would like. I’m excited for next school year, because my daughter’s languages arts curriculum incorporates art directly into the curriculum. These supplies would be awesome to win!!
Our oldest is almost 4, so we just do “art” right now whenever she gets the mind to do so. We have the typical supplies – crayons, all different kinds of paper, scissors, paint, colored pencils, stencils, markers, glue, etc.
This was a very informative article thank you. My kids asked for more art.
This looks so awesome! Thank-you for give-away. 🙂
Paints and minecraft- but not at the same time
My daughter would be over the moon with all these supplies
My daughter loves art naturally, but my boys not so much. Love the ideas here, maybe it will pull them in more too!
I love art and creating, but with 5 little kids it doesn’t happen as often as I would like. I have to be very intentional and mentally prepare for it ahead of time, it seems like anyway. Only the three oldest are big enough to do much. This year I tried branching out a little bit more and they’ve painted several times. Mostly they color, draw, or make cards. I am looking into maybe some online art courses, I think they would have fun!
We haven’t done much structured art in our home (hanging head in shame!) The majority of my children’s art experience has come from co-op. I just haven’t found anything that works for us so far, but this looks excellent!
I rarely “do” art. We do have crayons, colored pencils and paper available all the time.
my boys love drawing, playdough, cutting and gluing anything
Unfortunately, with my youngest (and last student) it doesn’t happen very often!
Our kids love to draw and paint and give their pictures to relatives and older people at church
Our kids love to do art. Usually it is done spontaneously, without me organizing it, but I will help them find the necessary tools or supplies for their art du jour.
We have not been very good about doing art in our homeschool in the last couple of years, unfortunately. Trying to get back in the habit.
Both of my girls love to write their stories when relaxing at night. They love to do comic strips, draw, and have stories that go along with them.
7th grader loves art! He can often be found sketching.
Love getting new inspiration and ideas for fun projects! My oldest loves to paint and draw.
We use Draw Write Now books and YouTube videos for drawing.
I like to color, crochet and do other crafts.
My kids love doing all linds or art! We’re always excited to try new things!
Art is an “extra” that gets skipped too often in my homeschool. Working on that.
So many fun ideas. 😄
My kids have always love to draw and create. The 15 year old writes and illustrates his characters himself. My 9 year old loves to make cards, draw, make things with clay, and recently we have been using the videos from Tricia Hodges and Nana.
Thanks for another great giveaway!
Wow! This is an awesome giveaway! We’re preparing to add art officially to our curriculum, so this makes me excited, for whomever wins.
My husband teaches my children Art. He majored in Art. My son loves to draw, and carries a little notebook in his back pocket to draw to his hearts content.
My children love art! This would be a blessing to receive!
My girls love drawing, painting, playing with playdough and clay.
