Mandalas are popular across all ages and countries by now, but there’s much more to them than coloring books. The Insnug Mandala Painting Kit does away with books and instead offers a set of stencils that allow you to make as many mandalas as you want. The set comes with 2 large stencils for that traditional experience and 20 smaller ones so you can make smaller patterns or combine them into your creation.
9 Great Art Kits For Teens
The last year redefined the way we look at home entertainment. Now that most families have to spend more time at home it’s become more important to find new ways to pass the time and release our tension. And this is even more important for our teenagers at home. That’s why today we’d like to take a look at one of the best hobbies anybody can indulge in: Art.
Art is a great hobby on countless levels. It is a constructive activity that grants a real sense of accomplishment with every finalized project. It allows for personal expression to a degree almost no other hobby can. And it’s something where there is no right or wrong, your take is yours alone and that’s always valid.
So with that in mind, today we’d like to share nine great art kits for teens. Each one of these offers a different way to get started on this hobby, and they might just be the first step into a long relationship with art. So let’s get started and discover the world of art together.
Vigorfun Deluxe Art Set
Perhaps the most traditional art set in this entire list, but it’s here for good reason. For roughly $30 the Vigorfun Deluxe Art Set just packs everything you could ever ask in an art set. To begin with, the set is really large, there are 83 pieces overall in the box; not to mention the storage box itself. When opened the box has 4 different compartments and a place for every single tool, which makes storage a snap.
Overall this set brings 24 paints, 24 oil pastels, 12 watercolors, and it’s all rounded up with brushes, pencils, and other accessories. That’s a little bit of everything and while most teens won’t be into all the painting styles, they are bound to like one. So this set is great in the sense that it gives them tools for what they already like, and room to explore new techniques at their own pace. The only thing lacking in this kit are some ideas to start you off on your painting journey. If you go this route and need some inspiration, check out our guide on painting ideas for beginners on canvas here.
Pros:
- Has all the tools you could need as a beginner
- Every paint or pencil comes in a fair size, these are substantial tools that will last various projects
- It’s perfect as an art station, everything has a specific place in the box
- There are tools for multiple styles of painting and drawing
Cons:
- The box isn’t as premium as it looks, it’s sturdy but it can get stuck or scratched from time to time
- No instructions or guides, so owners must learn every technique on their own
Craft-Tastic String Art
Craft-Tastic’s String Art Set is an interesting entry set into the world of string art. The set itself is relatively simple with 3 unique patterns, and the required string, pins, and boards to complete them. However, this simplicity plays a big role in the appeal. String art is tridimensional so the finished result ends up being eye catching, and it’s not a demanding set when it comes to skill. Each pattern just comes down to having patience and twisting a lot of string, which ends up being immersive for teens who love to keep their hands busy.
Ultimately some art kits for teens are meant for beginners, a set like this is more a tool to introduce teens into this unique art, rather than being a set to last for years. But it does present the hobby in a fun way and is easy to use, so if your child gets invested it’s really easy to simply buy more strings and pins at a craft store.
Pros:
- Offers 3 projects right out of the box
- Safe and simple to use
- The resulting art looks layered and bright
- Great for teens who want to keep their hands busy
- It’s a great starting point for the hobby
Cons:
- The string might not be enough for all 3 designs
