My latest fave art material for kids is window crayons. Boo got a pack of these, made by Crayola, in her stocking this year and has been enjoying finding a whole new 'blank canvas' for herself on the window panes. The timing seems apt as well as I finally decided to put our seasonal window trees to bed after enjoying 5 seasons with them. They apply really well, the colours are vibrant and they screw up so there seems to be plenty for many drawing sessions, as well as keeping little hands clean.
Here's Boo drawing a little red person, and then a little green person.
She informed me that this was herself and Boo Two which gave me a little warm feeling as its the first time she's drawn herself with her sibling. I haven't used other makes of window crayons so i can't compare how they perform with any others, though I know Lyra make some and I would love to try those also.
Only drawback we found was that, once applied, little hot hands could smudge the drawings and, when you have this little tyke around getting into everything, it was quite tricky to keep from just about everything in the vicinity being covered in smudgy crayon. But we love em.
Great! Must get some myself :)
