Eye Can Art

There are very few art kits that actually provide all the supplies you need and are also easy enough for your kids to do with little help from us parents. With Eye Can Art kits, you get kid-tested art kits in an easy to carry can that provide hours of fun! Product description:

Developed by professional art educators, Eye Can Art replaces the predictable craft kit with a journey of creative exploration based on the fundamentals of visual learning. Our Parents’ Choice Award Winning Kits provide high quality, washable, non-toxic art materials; enough to do the projects multiple times. The easy-to-follow instruction booklets provide clear steps to follow, suggest ideas to further explore, and show the work of professional artists who use the same techniques in their own work.

I had never heard of Sumi-e until Eye Can Art sent me some kits to review. Sumi-e is the art of Japanese-style watercolor done with a brush and black liquid ink. The inks in the kits are non-toxic and washable, although I recommend putting an art smock or apron or some kind of covering on your child.  This kit comes with white paper for creating the design and black mounting paper for hanging up your child’s creation.

The Book-In-A Box kit is so cool, it comes with enough materials to make three fold-out books plus one house-shaped book. Four handmade books for $24.00 makes this super-affordable!  I haven’t used this one yet because Kaitlyn’s coloring skills are still developing. When she tells me she wants to draw a story, I’ll get this kit out. It comes with long white paper, house shaped paper, glue stick, colored pencils, a fine tip black marker, three plastic “windows”, and an idea sheet.  You glue each book into it’s own box, so the book is protected, plus, INSTANT GIFT! Awesome.
