Do you want to do arts and crafts with kids? Art in the home isn’t hard. Find the art materials your kids need. (Hint: It’s not that many!)

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.


Bible Road Trip™ Teach Your Kid the Bible


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

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
This project was so fun. At the time, we were studying the Industrial Revolution.

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.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
The project in the center was created using poster board. I marked each board into 10 strips with a T-square and a permanent marker, then the boys illustrated each of the ten plagues from Exodus. We did this project while reading Exodus, as a part of Bible Road Trip™.

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.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
These are our wooden art supply boxes. The boys painted the boxes a solid color with acrylics, then they sketched a basic landscape in their journals. I traced the landscape onto fabric scraps and they glued those down and I (you guessed it) covered the whole thing in polyurethane.

These are three separate projects we created. The far left is a map project that worked well with my commitment to doing sneaky geography. The boys had a list of geographical terms they had to include on their map of an imaginary land. They designed and watercolored the map, and when it dried, they traced each area and labeled the map with their terms (and added a whale or pirate ship here or there). This was so much more fun that a test!

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.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
The boys made these frescoes by painting with acrylics on partially set plaster. If my husband wasn’t a plasterer, we would have just painted Mycenaean emblems on canvas board. After the acrylics dried, I traced the paintings with black permanent marker.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
The space ships were made with torn cardstock and glued to another piece of cardstock.  That was a quick and easy 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.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
This is another Bible Road Trip™ project on the days of Creation. I marked out seven strips on a piece of poster board, and the boys illustrated days 0-6 of Creation. In fact, now you can grab this project for yourself.

We also did a polymer clay project on Brother Andrew after reading his inspiring biography.

Arts and Crafts with Kids | All the Art Materials Your Kids Need
These are a couple of the art journal pages from one of my boys. In one, he’s learning to cartoon using a fine-tip permanent marker. In the other, he’s learning about color, and taking notes on what colors he mixed, and how he mixed them. Really, though, he just wanted me to show you his dragon. So, it’s small, but see the marvelous penciled dragon he drew on the paint color page?

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.

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.

  • 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!

    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.

    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.

They have a display area in their room and a whole wall in the basement play room to put up their art!

    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.”

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!

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.

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).

    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! 😊

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.

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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 🙂

    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.

    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.

    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!
