For most children, drawing is their favorite hobby. And, of course, colored pencils are the most popular tool for children's creativity. With their help, kids create real masterpieces. However, in order for the process of drawing to give the child real pleasure, and the results of creativity are always original and bright, it is necessary to choose and buy really high-quality and good colored pencils for the little artist.
What colored pencils to buy
Not all colored pencils are of really good quality. Some of them are too thick and uncomfortable, others paint faded, but still others require constant sharpening.
Why is it so important to choose really good colored pencils for your child? In fact, everything is very simple. The counters of modern stores selling stationery are simply overflowing with all kinds of sets of colored pencils from different manufacturers, brands, varieties and shades. It is simply impossible not to get confused and not get confused in all this diversity. Take your time with the purchase, carefully study the entire range presented and choose the best and highest quality colored pencils.
For kids who are just starting to learn the basics of the fine arts, pencils with a triangular body are most suitable. They will help your child quickly learn how to correctly place the fingers while drawing, rather than clenching a pencil in a fist, as most toddlers do before the age of three. In addition, triangular colored pencils do not roll off the table during the drawing process and allow the young artist to focus exclusively on creativity, without distracting him from constant bending and searching for colored pencils under the table.
If there are no triangular colored pencils in the store, you can buy drawing tools with six distinct edges. But it is better to refuse to buy colored pencils with a round cross-section. They are only suitable for children with the correct grip of the pencil already formed.
When choosing colored pencils, pay attention to their thickness. It is more convenient for children under three years old to draw with pencils with a thickened wooden body, the diameter of which is about a centimeter. Such a tool will sit firmly in the child's fingers and will not break if pressed too hard.
Give preference to soft colored pencils. Firstly, it is much easier to draw with them than with solid ones. Secondly, soft colored pencils produce brighter designs. And, thirdly, the crumb does not have to press hard on the pencil in order to draw what was conceived.
