Faber-Castell Word Art
(Faber-Castell $15.00)
An interesting design kit that comes with 8 fine tipped connector markers, five erasable crayons, colorful word stickers, 10 design starters (pre-made drawings on white paper) mounting stickers and a great idea booklet for practicing writing letters in multiple ways as well as step by step guides for creating original art. Simple pre-made line drawings are ready for kids to doodle, write and design with both crayons and markers and stickers. Unlike a coloring book that simply gets filled in, these starter pages introduce a bigger idea of how designs are made with little more than the clean lines of an initial form that can grow in so many ways. It’s also a kit that invites kids to refine their fine motor skills the ones they need for writing without setting them up for boring practice lessons in penmanship. Colorful art supplies like these make writing more fun. In fact the connectable markers can be used to make multiple copies of the same words in several colors. An entertaining way to get kids to do paper and pen activities happily.7 & up
