Coloring Tools for Teens
Half the fun of coloring and painting is the supplies, right? I’m going to point you to my favorites.
These are awesome. They’re student-grade watercolors, but they spread nicely and cover well if you want them to. But that’s not what I love about them. I love them because they’re lightly sparkly. I think you can see the glimmer best in the top picture of the pumpkins I painted. Honestly, the sparkle makes me happy, so I figured it would make you happy too.
To use watercolors with a coloring book you need a variety of brush tip sizes, and these work nicely.
Amazon: 12 Prismacolor Premier Verithin Colored Pencils
Prismacolor Colored Pencils are excellent, and the Verithin work well with adult coloring books. They have a hard core, rather than Prismacolor’s usual soft core, so the sharpened tip holds a point well.
Amazon: Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener
If you use Prismacolor colored pencils, they’ll need to be sharpened. This one has great reviews.
These are my favorite pens to journal with. They write smoothly–they don’t smear or drag. I also really like the width of the tip. They’re perfect. I love the 8-pack of pretty colors. I use them so frequently I purchase a new pack every few months. LOVE them.
Christian Biographies for Kids | Christian History for Kids | Theology for Kids
Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here’s why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.
The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
