What to give a child who loves art? Here are our favorite art supplies for gifts that are extra special and great for budding artists.
Here at the Artful Parent, we’ve got lots of experience with art supplies. And we think they make fantastic gifts for kids.
If you’ve got a kid at home who loves to make art, here are some premium art materials that make great gifts and will encourage even more creativity!

Premium Art Supplies for Gifts

We LOVE Kwik Stix tempera paint sticks. They have vibrant coverage, are low-mess, and dry quickly. Kids of all ages would love this full set of Kwik Stix that contains 60 sticks, including neon, pastel, and metallic colors.
These neon tempera pods are awesome! They are super bright and have a thicker coverage than regular watercolors. The addition of these paints will breathe new life into all your painting projects.


If you want the wow factor, a set of supplies from the Micador Dark Arts line are just the thing! Combine their fluorescent paint pods and oil pastels with their black light and you’ll have some glow-in-the-dark fun!
If your child has been dabbling with watercolor painting, a travel watercolor set and this round watercolor pad are a great gift combination.


We love the Stabilo markers for kids who are into drawing. Pair it with a drawing pad and our new Drawing Skills Master Class, and you’ve got one perfect present!
We hope you find just the thing for your creative kids this holiday season!
