Faber Castell Do Art Travel Easel Giveaway

My kids are very creative, they love to sketch, paint and color. I was looking for a durable art set that was compact and had an array of features, and could be used when traveling. I found that in the Faber Castell Do Art Travel Art Easel.

This 3-in-1 easel folds flat and all the supplies store inside in 2 removable drawers. The easel can be used as a drawing easel, white board, chalk board or lap desk.

Pull our the drawers on the side and you will find, Faber Castell Jumbo Beeswax Crayons, Colored EcoPencils, markers, chalk, dry erase marker with built-in eraser, pencil sharpener, sponge eraser and sketch pad.

Check out our video below:

The Do Art Easel is great for kids ages 4 and up and is recommended by art educators. I really like that it folds flat and my kids have a variety of options when they use it. It is nice that all the supplies are tucked securely inside and it is easy for them to access them when needed.

We think the Faber Castell Do Art Travel Easel makes a great gift and have added it to our 2018 Holiday Gift Guide at Mommy Ramblings.

Inspiring Creative Kids with Creativity For Kids Art Kits & Products – #Giveaway

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.

Do Art Drawing & Sketching Kit

This set is ideal for beginning artists. The kit includes quality art materials and step-by-step illustrated project instructions.

The four Graphite Pencils vary in lead density and the book explains when to use each one. Kit also contains 2 Black Ink pens with varying point sizes, a 24 page Sketchbook, Colored Paper, Tracing Paper, a 20-Page Instruction Booklet, Copy Grid, Pencil Sharpener, Eraser and Clear Zippered Pencil Pouch.

The booklet is very easy to follow and explains art concepts and techniques in terms and images that kids can easily see and understand.

Do Art Watercolor Pencil Art

The Watercolor Pencil Art Kit is another beginning art kit with quality art materials and step-by-step illustrated instruction booklet. This kit teaches children to paint with Watercolor EcoPencils and explains the techniques in words and images they can clearly understand and see.

The kit includes 10 Watercolor Pencils, Clear Zippered Pouch, 24 Page Watercolor Paper Pad, 20-Page Instruction Booklet, Pencil Sharpener and Paintbrush.

We love these products so much, you will find them on Mommy Ramblings’ Holiday Gift Guide.

Faber-Castell, Creativity For Kids, Monster Truck Custom Shop Kit Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently asked to choose a Creativity for Kids kit to review from Faber-Castell. They have a great selection, but with a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old, who are crazy for monster trucks, I chose the Monster Trucks Custom Shop. This kit comes with 4 different monster trucks and includes stickers and paint to customize them. When my kiddies saw the box, we could not open it fast enough and they did not want to wait for paint to dry, so we skipped that and used the neat stickers. I think the paint would be great for older kids to use and they would understand about letting it dry. The stickers are a great option for toddlers and pre-schoolers and are easy for them to apply with Mom and Dad. With that done you are ready to pull them back and let them go. Watch them speed off, race, roll and flip. My little ones liked recreating scenes they saw at the Monster Truck show they saw at the county fair this summer. This is a great gift idea for any little boys on your list this holiday season. In fact, there is a Creativity for Kids Kit to delight just about every child on your gift list this year. Give them a gift that lets the show off their creative side.

My 2-year-old excitedly telling me about the trucks.

I have great news, Faber-Castell is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their own Creativity for Kids, Monster Truck Custom Shop Kit.
