To this day, my 12-year-old child amazes me every time she shows me a piece of her artwork. In my opinion, she is a creative genius that keeps getting better and better. Last year I wrote Gift Ideas for Your Teenage Artist, which my daughter helped me write. I wanted to help parents of talented kids know what their little artists might enjoy using or experimenting with. Now that my daughter is older and has experimented with more art supplies I wanted to share gifts that young artists will enjoy.
When I surprise my daughter with random art supplies, I like buying her supplies that she has never heard of. Doing this encourages her to research, experiment, and possibly learn a new technique.
Gifts That Young Artists Will Enjoy
Bob Ross – Why do artists need Bob Ross gifts? Because he was so cool and artists need to know and appreciate him.
Sketchbooks– Artists need sketchbooks of all sizes. These sketchbooks need to have thick paper that can handle ink of all types. In addition, I suggest that the sketchbooks have a ring binder.
Markers– There are so many types of markers that artists can use to create amazing designs. Here are a few of my daughter’s favorites.
Pencils/ Erasers
Miscellaneous Art Supplies– I cannot list all of the art supplies that your artist would love to use, but here are some extra items my daughter loves.
I love that my child expresses herself through art. I also love that she practically goes through an entire sketchbook in less than a month and practically carries her sketchbook everywhere she goes. I am excited for this child’s future as an artist.
Are you an artist? What should we add to the list?
