OUR RECOMMENDED ART SUPPLIES for primary school pupils
to appreciate art and develop a solid creative sense, children should start by using only good quality art material
In all cases, it is a complete misconception to buy cheap counterparts so that they can be treated carelessly, as their quality is generally non-existent, and often results in poor finishes that lead to discouragement, which ultimately represents nothing but wasted effort and false economy,
A much more sensible, worthwhile choice is to encourage children to take care & respect their property, then invest in sound materials from reputable manufacturers, even if they are from an entry level range. While they may initially cost more, however, if treated well, can represent much greater value for your money and serve you well for a long time to come. Their quality will undoubtedly offer incomparable superiority in usage & deliver highly improved results, thus giving children a far more rewarding and enjoyable creative experience.

all carefully selected to enhance creative development for primary school age children
Cartridge Paper
A solid all round, acid-free art paper with superb erasability, suitable for various mediums including charcoal, ink, crayons, pastels, watercolours
Cold Pressed Watercolour Papers
An acid free, highly absorbent watercolour paper with added textures to enhance finish work with distinctive characters
The following papers must be professionally guillotined to A4 size for our projects
This can be easily done at most print shops for a nominal amount, it may be well worth the added effort
Paint Brushes
Using good quality, suitable brushes can have drastic effects on the finish art
Watercolours
Due to the higher pigments, these watercolours are much more user-friendly than the cheap purposeful large sets designed for children. You may choose to buy a smaller set, as this can effectively encourage children to mix their colours to create more colours.
Pastels
They are fun to use due to their creamy texture and their superior vibrancy
Permanent Markers
Good quality pens contain strong pigments, durable and superior to use compare to the commonly large sets made for children
Wax Crayons
This everyday medium needs no introduction, but our featured product may be an interesting knowledge to note
