Let your child get creative with paint
Every child is an artist. But early in their careers, it helps to have a plan for art-related mishaps. See how you can let creativity flow freely – clean, simple and side by side with the rest of the household.
The painter’s den under the table
Children’s imagination runs free, and so do they. Therefore it’s a good idea to have an art studio with full mobility. Easily moved equipment, something to handle possible accidents – and they’re free to go where inspiration leads them.
Your magic clean-up carpet
No matter how much we appreciate the artistic ambitions of our kids, some cautionary measures apply. Like a floor protector to avoid permanent art where it’s not supposed to be.
A portable toolbox of creativity
Pens, brushes, paint and more – all the equipment collected and organised wherever it goes. Needless to say, perfect for budding artists. Now it can take them anywhere.
The mini studio in the cabinet
When painting and drawing sessions are frequent, it may be time for a full-time studio (a very small one). Let a pair of cabinets house it all. The activity is easy to contain, and can be taken out and hidden away in no time.
Make a face for all to see
Simple and clever, a poster hanger on the inside of the cabinet door offers full flexibility. Whether to use for hang-drying fresh work, easel or one-frame gallery, it’s all up to the artist.
Keep your (very) recent work in check
With a lot going on in a small studio, a bit of order can be useful. Paint bottles go on the spice rack and a pot lid organiser makes it a joy even to watch paint dry.
