Perfect gift for little artists
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Oh! Things!
Mark’s parents gave Sarah a really pretty colour-by-number set for her birthday.
The resulting artwork is so sweet; totally worth framing:
It’s made by Djeco. (Do yourself a favour and click through to their website. It is a work of art. No joke.)
We’ve purchased paint-by-number kits from Djeco before and enjoyed them very much. The new one comes with felt-tip markers instead of paint.
Two things stand out about this particular set. (1) This colour-by-numbers doesn’t actually have any numbers printed on the artwork. I love this. No bleed-through! (2) The finished results are charming and beautiful, and could be hung just about anywhere. Think of how proud your child would be to see his/her work hanging in the front hall!
The set comes with several pieces of art (printed on a sturdy canvas-like material, not paper), brightly coloured dual-sided markers (each one has a thin side and a thick side), and a booklet. The booklet suggests which colours to use.
I really love it.
Sarah has been working so hard on her art. It does my heart good to see her efforts pay off and result in something so pretty.
