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.
