Purchase Guide: Kids' Corner
Buying Kids Art & Craft Supplies Online
"We are all creative, but by the time we are three or four years old, someone has knocked the creativity
out of us. Some people shut up the kids who start to tell stories. Kids dance in their cribs, but someone will
insist they sit still. By the time the creative people are ten or twelve, they want to be like everyone
else."
—Maya Angelou
Art is an essential part of childhood! Part of a well-rounded education, art and artistic expression are
important to children's communication and emotional development. By the time of their first birthday, many
children are able to grip a crayon and scribble, their first experiment with color and shape. By age three, they
begin to combine circles and lines to make simple figures destined to adorn refrigerator doors across the globe.
By the time kids reach 9 or 10 years old, they start finding it more important to make their drawings look like
the real thing. This aspiration towards realism often outstrips kids' art knowledge and abilities, driving some
kids to give up art altogether. Others keep at it, and with a little education, grow skilled.
MisterArt.com believes that art is for ALL kids: any age, any skill level. Whether your child is designing cars
with a straight edge or scribbling Simpsons characters on the drywall, we've got the art supplies that allow
kids to expand their understanding of individual and emotional expression.
Parents love MisterArt.com, too! We guarantee the lowest prices on kids' art supplies on the Internet. If we
don't already offer the lowest price, we'll gladly match it! For kids, art is priceless… parents should
be able to afford to let their kids stretch their minds! Just in case they stretch too far, though,
MisterArt.com has an incredible selection of non-toxic art and craft supplies that clean up quickly and easily!
An important lesson for all children to learn is that you don't have to be able to draw incredibly well to
express yourself through art. MisterArt.com offers deep discounts on a multitude of products designed to help
kids to experience shape, color, and design.
Beading and Jewelry
Beading is the art of attaching beads to one another or to cloth
using a needle and thread, glue, or other fasteners. Most beadwork
takes the form of jewelry or other personal adornment, but beads are also used in wall hangings and sculpture.
Beading and jewelry are great art projects for kids because they allow children to experience and manipulate a
wide variety of textures. Combining different shapes and colors to create a design is the essence of art, and
kids love expressing themselves at school, church, or the mall by wearing their creations!
MisterArt.com has great deals and fast shipping on beads, bracelets,
necklaces, buttons, and more!
Cartooning
Nothing screams "KIDS!" like a good cartoon! Instead of sitting on the
couch watching a bunch of cartoons, though, MisterArt.com thinks kids should be dreaming up their own cartoons!
And we've got the discount art supplies kids need to share their vision with others.
With some nice layout boards, pencils, and inks, even beginners can create professional-quality work. For kids
who want to learn about different cartooning mediums, however,

to learn and master the art of drawing comic strips, super heroes, Disney characters, anime and manga heroes,
and whatever weird creations that can be dreamed up!
Construction
Building art projects is great for kids, because not only do they get
to experiment with expressing themselves but it builds their fine motor skills as well! With a little
imagination plus some scissors and glue, construction paper can be turned into scenery, origami, paper
footballs, crowns, castles, airplanes, and all sorts of original inventions.
If paper crafts aren't your kid's thing, we've slashed prices on woodcarving sets, marble mazes, and even tool benches! Before you know it, your tyke will be a superstar,
fabricating custom motorcycle parts on American Chopper. Members of MisterArt.com's VIP

Cool Accessories
Any child that is into the self-expression fostered by art is DEFINITELY going to want to accessorize! Accessories add a dash of fun and personality to any outfit or
activity.

we've got tremendous savings on a variety of art smocks that kids
can decorate and then destroy! MisterArt.com cares about keeping kids clean, even when artistic expression gets
a tad sloppy!

Furniture
Quality art furniture is key for artists to be able to crank out their
creativity comfortably and professionally. Having a comfy, workable space to make art is important for kids,

stickered! Sometimes it takes the vision of a child to remind us all that furniture can be art, too!

paint, ink, clay, and other art supplies all over their hair and bodies anyway, so why not have them do it
right? MisterArt.com has all the discount hair and body art supplies
needed to turn kids into the world's most hyperactive canvases!
Temporary tattoos, hair wraps, false nails, and body crayons quickly turn any pint-size artist into a living museum
piece. Adding art to their hair, faces, and bodies allows kids to feel what it's like to stand out and sparkle.

Journals and Diaries
It's an important developmental step for kids to learn to organize and acknowledge their thoughts and feelings.
Journals and diaries are the way to do it!
Kids can record their dreams, fears, feelings, even loves in a personal book that they'll treasure forever.
Don't forget—the things written down in journals and diaries have been turned into some of the world's
greatest literature, too!
Not only do journals help kids learn to express themselves, they also offer a chance to work on writing and
calligraphy skills. Even if your child hasn't fallen in love with writing already, a few colorful gel pens,
markers, stickers, photos, and glitter can turn any ordinary book into an artistic adventure no kid could put
down! You'll find the top prices on all of these art supplies and more every day at MisterArt.com.
Music, Art, and Jewelry Boxes

belonging to Grandma, a rare coin, or even the musket ball that felled original U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
Alexander Hamilton! Precious items such as these can't be lost, and deserve a special place were they can be
stored for safe keeping. For kids, that means a music, art, or jewelry
box!
These versatile storage solutions are the perfect addition to any bedroom. Some of our treasure chests play
music when the lid is lifted, others are designed specifically to hold jewelry. Some of the best, of course, are
meant to be decorated by kids! With a little paint and glue and a lot of imagination, there will be no doubt to
whom that box belongs!
