Getting arty with your kids
Encourage creativity in your children by providing them with the time, resources, encouragement and the space for making art. Try to set aside interruption-free time for drawing, in a mess-proof zone - so that their creativity can run wild. Make sure you cover all surfaces so that any splashes of paint or scribbles of crayon are 'caught' - because nothing squishes creativity more so than a parent saying "Don't make a mess" every 2 minutes.
Choosing the right drawing materials is also very important. Many craft materials can be improvised (think of kitchen roll tubes, yogurt pots etc) but when drawing tools and paper are required, opt for a small selection of good quality age-appropriate products, rather than loads of inferior products. Always make sure that you check safety information and follow instructions. Young children should always be surpervised during arts and crafts activities because many necessary materials - such as crayons - pose a choking hazard.
Surroundings:As with writing or working at a computer, good posture and a comfortable position are important for drawing. A child sized table and chair is actually preferable to an easel. If the chair is a little high, provide a phone book for a footrest. An inexpensive plastic chair set in front of a coffee table works well. A small kitchen storage trolley is ideal for containing supplies, or if space does not permit, a portable tackle box is a good option too. Messy toddlers may need a drop-cloth and supervision to avoid stained walls, as even 'washable' pens very often don't deliver on that promise!
Art Materials:Avoid cheap markers, too-hard pencils and thin paints - these types of materials are discouraging to the child and therefore a waste of money. Provide many sheets of plain blank paper to inspire their creativity and occasionally invest in a canvas so that your child can paint something and chances are you'll want to hang it on your wall! Provide also coloring books or coloring pages which are bountiful online - coloring pages are not so great for creativity, however they do provide children with the chance to practice their fine motor skills and sometimes it's very relaxing and just what they need. They can simply color in without the 'pressure' of thinking about WHAT to draw. Little boys typically enjoy coloring pictures of cars and trucks while little girls usually enjoy colouring images of princesses and fairies - however you can't go wrong with Disney characters and at sites like Disney Coloring Pages you’ll find the best Disney coloring.
