This 35-piece set includes everything you need to experiment with color, texture, paint and patterns. The act of painting provides hand-eye coordination, communication through color, shapes and lines, experimentation, decision making and problem-solving skills – all in an enjoyable and relaxing activity for kids. With the illustrated instructions, kids will learn how to create fun textured pictures and vibrant artwork with 5 brilliant colors of tempera paint. Use the primary and secondary colors alone or mix them to create your own new colors. (Parent's note: The tempera paints are nontoxic and washable from skin.) Perfect for little hands, wide handle brushes and rollers make the texture tools easy for young artists to control. With these tools and texture cards, boys and girls will explore texture painting techniques including Fan, Loofah, Sponge, Waves, Random Dots and Uniform Dots. When the paint dries, add details to your artwork like faces and shapes with the washable black marker. The Young Artist Texture Painting Set comes packaged in an eco-friendly corrugated box – great for storage and the environment!
