Halloween Painting Ideas for Kids: What You Need

There are a few paint and craft supplies you should stock up on to create a Halloween art studio at home:

Crayons – the best option to start with. They are ideal for toddlers and are preferable to markers, felt-tip pens, and pencils. In addition, do not leave stains on hands, clothes, and textile furniture – something that will help you clean the mess after. You can find paraffin and toxic-free crayons which are great for toddlers.
Pencils – are a great tool to improve your toddler’s painting and drawing skills. They are easy to use and same like crayons do not leave stains and spots. You should not make them too sharp so that children do not get hurt. You would be surprised at how many pencil variations are available nowadays. Magic pencils, for example, turn into crayons after passing a brush soaked in water over the drawing made with them on the sheet.
Paints – it is good to know that there are paints specially designed for kids. They are in jars and easy to handle, non-toxic, and easy to wash off, and they can be used not only with brushes but also with hands. Moreover, finger painting is extremely fun and useful for kids, because it helps them to develop tactile sensations and learn to use colors correctly. Then they can try to repeat the same with a sponge or brush. Be ready for a huge mess when you decide to use paintings. Make sure you have protective aprons ready in order to stay away from stains.
