One
of my all-time favorite things to do as a kid was to gather as much bric-a-brac
and objects together so I could create all sorts of things-mostly spaceships,
toy guns, etc.
I
would plunder my Mom’s junk drawer and pick out buttons, spools, paper clips,
wire—anything that I could cobble together so I could feed my imagination.
If
the Alex Brands’ ‘Giant Art Jar’
existed when I was a kid it would have been one of my favorite treasure troves.
It
has everything: ABC shapes, wooden sticks, google eyes, buttons, colored paper,
glitter glue, a glue stick, feathers, scissors, sequence, stickers and more-oh
so much more!
It’s
a veritable cornucopia of creative art and craft items that will keep kids
gluing, cutting, folding, pasting, assembling, taping and enjoying themselves
for hours.
What
a great way to encourage creativity and allowing a child’s mind and imagination
to run wild.
Kids
can make their own special jewelry, art, funny objects and things and share
them with their friends and family as gifts.
A
large plastic jar with a twist on lid, with handle, holds everything a child
needs to unlock their imagination.
For
the child, student or adult the ‘Essential Drawing Set’ is a great way to
inexpensively enter the world of art.
As
a graphic designer, illustrator and former high school art teacher I can attest
that buying art supplies can get expensive.
Once
established as an artist’s supply costs can be curtailed a bit because you tend
to buy just the supplies you need at the time.
If
you are someone who wants to learn many different types of art using various
art medium the ‘Essential Drawing Set’ from Alex Brands is the perfect way to
do so.
The
‘Drawing Set’ contains everything you need to get started in your drawing
adventure.
Erasers,
a sandpaper block, charcoal pencils, pastel pencils, sketching sticks, charcoal
sticks, a ruler, graphite pencils, of various types, blending sticks, color
sticks, a sharpener, a sketch pad and even a drawing mannequin all come
securely packaged in foam in a wooden box with hinges and a heavy duty handle.
It
makes for an organized art package so young artists minimize the mess and can
find what they need easily and quickly.
Using
art supplies items seen in the set I was able to make the following drawing
with no muss or fuss.
With
a little practice and patience you can make your own masterpieces to share and
display.
The
‘Shrinky Dinks Sweet Treats Jewelry Making Kit’ brings out the decorator and
craftsman in kids and teenagers.
Just
color, bake and shrink and future jewelers can make all the bling and
glittering necklaces, bracelets and decorations they want.
There’s
so much to see and do! All sorts of
sweet goodie shapes can be colored and baked.
Once they finish baking they shrink.
Just look at all the beads and baubles!
