Art supplies make a wonderful gift for kids and this guide will cover a wide variety of quality tools and kits for kids of all ages.
As an artist and a parent, my philosophy is to provide quality supplies such as colored pencils and paper and let kids follow their own ideas. But it can also be fun to work with a kit or set, so I have included a few favorites here too. And sometimes a special tool or supply is just the thing to unlock a whole world for a kid, and for adults too.
This post has a variety of ideas for kids of all ages, including art supplies, kits, books, and supplies.

TIPS FOR PURCHASING ART
“Purchase art that resonates with you. You should always research the artist and familiarize yourself with their career. Mark your calendar for the 2021 Dallas Art Fair, November 12–14, 2021. It’s a great opportunity to expose yourself and your family to contemporary art. If you find a piece you can’t live without, act fast!”
