Back to School: Artsy Smartsy
Our final act in the Milkshake back to school series... color your world with awesome art supplies and keep the kiddos' creative juices flowing once they come tumbling back through your door at the end of the day.
Cool Colored Pencils
This set of 12 jumbo-sized hexagonal colored pencils from Stubby Pencil Studio is made from reforested Spanish wood.
With a bold, bright palette of colors from which to choose, a pint-sized artist can make gigantic artistic leaps.
$20
Playful Play-Dough
Choosing plant-derived and mineral pigments over harsh chemicals, Clementine Modeling Play Dough extends its natural M.O. with its "flavors:" lemon, lime and strawberry.
Let's be real: kids like to taste play-dough -- so it's wise to use a version of it that's no big deal if (when) culinary curiosity takes over.
$9
Perfect Paper
There are fewer things more glorious to a child than a blank canvas just waiting for something to be drawn or painted on it. Bella Luna Toys delivers with its FSC certified 100% post consumer fiber paper with soy inks.
Each "Eco Art" pad comes with 50 chlorine free, 9x12 sheets -- or rather, 50 future masterpieces just waiting to be created.
