Creative gifts for artists young and old

There is no better gift for a child than help in the realization of his hobbies and attention to his interests and abilities. Therefore, if you have young and old children in your environment who love creativity, consider giving them a gift that will help them develop their artistic talent.

We are looking for slightly different creative sets for children and others for adults. Young artists may still be at the stage of finding their favorite area of ​​art and will either take every opportunity to make art or rely on our insight. And also useful for a gift to an elderly owner of a creative hobby. After all, we want the gift to prove itself in the development of passion and skills.  

Creative Creedu Kits for Older Kids

In the offer of art sets for children over 10 years of age, my attention was most drawn to products for drawing and painting. Due to my passion for watercolors, I will first talk about the Creedu watercolor set. There are 20 items in total in the suitcase:

• 12 watercolors with a capacity of 12 ml,
• 3 brushes: one wide, square shape and two thin, very precise,
• 1 pencil
• 1 spatula - useful for mixing colors or applying more paint to a sheet of paper,
• 1 rolling pin,
• 1 rubber band,
• 1 transparent "board" with a clip - you can put paper on it so that it does not move when drawing.

The paint colors chosen for the set are slightly muted shades, but the width of this range will allow for different mixtures, so I find the selection practical. Because it's all locked up in the suitcase, you can easily take it with you on your travels without worrying about destroying individual items locked in the box.

Very similar to the acrylic painting kit above. It's true that instead of a clipboard, we have a palette for mixing colors, but I'm under the impression that in the case of acrylics, this is a good choice because they often use them to paint on a canvas rather than a piece. paper. In the case of this set, it is also worth paying attention to the color scheme of paints - it is a little more bright and classic than in the case of the watercolor set.

An interesting offer also seems to be a set of watercolor crayons. In it, our artist will have at his disposal not only 24 colors of watercolors in semi-cubes, but also 12 watercolor crayons, which, when in contact with water, give an effect similar to paintings made with paints.

If you're looking for a slightly more expansive set, I recommend a package with attached canvas and a small easel. This is a suggestion for slightly more advanced artists who want to expand their range of drawing skills and need more professional equipment. The paint colors in this set represent an autumn composition - brown, red and red shades will create beautiful images in fiery colors.

What if the person you love is more likely to reach for crayons? In this case, a classic drawing set is perfect, which includes the following elements:

• 24 wood-free crayons - can be scraped off with a knife or whetstone, or sharpened and drawn like regular crayon,
• 18 crayons in a tree
• 2 hangers - used to blur and rub lines drawn with crayons,
• 1 sharpening block,
• 1 eraser - the structure really looks a bit like bread - crumbles and is plastic. This is due to the fact that, unlike ordinary rubber, it has not undergone a vulcanization process,
• 1 rolling pin.

The second version of this set also includes watercolors. I have both because I've already done my shopping in preparation for the upcoming Children's Day. Thanks to this, I can show you how both boxes look live.

If we are looking for a gift for a sketching lover, I suggest buying a set in a suitcase with a notebook. This is a good idea for both an experienced cartoonist and a person who is just starting out in this art form. There are many items in the box:

• 9 graphite pencils,
• 3 charcoal pencils
• 2 woodless graphite pencils - these are very similar to the woodless pencils above, you can use them as is or scrape off the pigment and use it to blend,
• charcoal woodless pencil white,
• 6 graphite sticks,
• 3 carbon sticks
• 4 natural carbons,
• rolling pin,
• eraser,
• bread eraser,
• wiser
• sandpaper block - used for sharpening sticks and woodless drawing utensils,
• clip washer.

Creative gifts for young artists

Many children are fond of drawing and painting. These activities are the backbone of activities in kindergarten or school, but toddlers also love to play creatively at home. As a child, the most valuable things for me were paints and crayons - I still have a few crayons that remember the days of drawing in elementary school!

Before a hobby turns into a big passion and crystallizes into a specific area of ​​art, small artists like to have a wide range of products to choose from. Therefore, the Easy art set can be an interesting creative gift. The novice illustrator will find there an extremely wide range of colors that will allow him to recreate on paper all the wonders that arise in his imagination. In addition, the set includes various types of accessories - pencils deserve attention. There are three types of them:

• 17 small pencils
• 55 oil pastels,
• 24 wax crayons.

Another set of drawing supplies and more that I recommend as a gift for a young drawing and painting lover is the 215-piece Art Set. It consists of:

• 72 wax crayons
• 48 pencils
• 30 fine markers
• 24 oil pastels,
• 24 watercolors,
• 10 markers
• 3 brushes
• color mixing palette,
• pencil,
• rolling pin and block.

As you can see, this set is very extensive and can be a complete answer to the needs of a beginner cartoonist. A characteristic feature of this suitcase is that it has a kind of stand on which you can put a sheet of paper and thus draw anywhere. I can also show this set in the photo, because it will also be a gift for Children's Day.

The Derform sets are very similar to the set above, but definitely smaller. They contain 71 elements (including several polishes), so they have everything an aspiring artist would need to paint a real work. Their advantage is a suitcase with the motive of the beloved universe or simply with a motive that the child will like. There are many options, so if you know your little one's taste and know that drawing is a great hobby, consider picking one up.

Perhaps you are looking for a gift that will not only surprise you, but also allow you to develop your imagination in a less classic way? If so, then I recommend Aquabeads beads to your attention. They are glued together under a stream of water - usually a small sprayer is included in the kits, which allows you to dose the right amount of liquid. After finishing any pattern (using a special board), simply spray the beads and let it dry. The finished pattern can be strung on a thread or attached to the keys like a keychain.

For slightly older kids who have more experience and are looking for more advanced creative fun, we can consider kits that allow them to create items on their own. I remember that the first serious gift my parents gave me was a sewing machine. I went to first grade and loved to decorate, embroider (unfortunately, also sew), create toys, which I then proudly presented on holidays. The description above seems familiar to you, and do you know a similar cymon? Consider giving him some fun. The Cool Maker sewing machine is perfect! The kit with the machine includes patterns, colorful patterns and a filler that can be used to stuff finished work - after sewing them in the places described in the instructions.

And if you're thinking of something even more advanced, check out this DIY mascot kit. It contains a set of elements necessary to create a beautiful plush toy:

• plush patterns,
• filling,
• pieces of eyes and nose
• colored thread, 
• metal needle,
• ribbon - tied with a bear lining. 

The latest suggestion for a gift for a little artist is the Go Glam manicure studio. This is a set that meets the needs of a novice stylist. With its help, you can make a beautiful manicure and pedicure - no worse than in a professional beauty salon. The polishes included in the kit are non-toxic and can be easily removed with an acetone-free remover.

I hope that this guide will make it very easy to choose creative gifts. Or maybe you will be inspired and make yourself such a gift? The most important thing in both cases is passion! Therefore, I wish good luck in its development, both to you and your loved ones. You can find more gift ideas in the GIFTS tab.
