Creative Activities | Mommy Ramblings

We love drawing, painting and sketching. My kids always have too! Our 10-year-old will draw his favorite super heroes for hours. His drawings are quite good, and we encourage our childrens’ creativity by providing them with all kinds of paper, easels, paint, pencils and more. That is why I was thrilled to check out some art kits and watercolor pencil sets from Creativity For Kids by Faber Castell.

GRIP Watercolor Colored EcoPencils

These pencils are perfect for older children, they feature an ergonomic triangular barrel and patented Soft-Grip zone. This ensures fatigue-free and comfortable drawing. The high pigmentation in the lead makes colors very vivid. The water-soluble pigments give fantastic results: simply draw your picture then apply water to a paintbrush to create beautiful watercolor images. These Watercolor EcoPencils are a winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award.

Pencil Features:

Watercolor paint is in the pencil! Smooth colors that dissolve instantly with water
Made from re-forested wood, 24 artist-quality, vibrant colors blend easily
More pigment for richer color lay down
Easy to hold triangular shape with a unique “Soft-GRIP-Zone” for a secure hold and ergonomic grip
Leads are glued the entire length of the barrel and will not fall out
Easy to sharpen in any standard sharpener
Paint brush included
Non-toxic, conforms to ASTM D-4236

The pencils colored so effortlessly and smoothly while the GRIP-Zone provided secure handling which worked especially well, when coloring in narrow lines, and other small detail areas. Using a bit of water on the paint brush, we could create a watercolor paint effect to our designs.
