Right from my childhood, I am not at all interested in art. I didn't even hold a paint brush or a crayon. But, now when I see the children with such imagination and creativity, I feel I want to take advantage of it.
So, I thought about introducing art to my child. But he is still mouthing due to which I couldn’t give him regular crayons or sketches. So I made DIY paints using artificial colours. He wanted to explore them but I couldn't allow it and thus he lost his interest. I felt he needs something more realistic but should be safe and non toxic.
And the AI does its magic again. An Instagram ad popped up. That's it, I ordered crayon chunkies which are a hit. He loved them at first sight. The grip is perfect and the shape, the vibrant colours attracted him.
And I have an obsession for cardboard boxes. Just look at the box it comes with, how sturdy and cute it is. The slots for crayons is a brilliant idea, because it teaches the child the sense of partition, the urge to keep the crayons back in the slots which itself is a play.
And now, the most difficult part is cleaning up and dabbling. The best part, just a piece of cloth and a few drops of coconut oil. Tada!! Everything is cleaned up. My kid is excited to see how the crayon marks vanishes with a wipe every time I clean up and he does it too.
To be frank, I felt the dabble products were costly. But after using them, trust me, they are really worth every penny. Looking forward to adding more to his art tray.
The bottom line:
The crayons are precious for him and hence is the box for me.
