Drawing, crafting and playful learning with young children

The art materials for children aged 2 and up have been tested by educational experts and teachers – and found to be excellent!

  1. 3-in-1 pencils are extremely versatile: The ergonomic Noris junior pencils for kids are not just colouring pencils: they can also be used as wax crayons or as watercolour pencils, using a brush and some water. This gives little ones their first experiences with colour, so they can experiment to their heart’s content.
  2. Children’s pencils prepare kids to write their first words and promote a secure pencil grip.
  3. Wax crayons are optimised for children’s fists and promote the development of the hand and finger muscles.
  4. Pencils sharpeners can be used by right or left-handed children, thanks to their “dual sharpening” design, and have a flat sharping angle that promotes thick and soft colour transfer.
  5. Finger paints are also a valuable educational tool. These paints for children appeal to the senses and teach kids how to mix different colours.
  6. Modelling dough promotes three-dimensional thinking, fine motor skills, sensitivity and regulation of force. With these craft materials, kids can develop their sensory abilities as they learn that the modelling dough becomes easier to shape when kneaded.
