I always loved the romantic/clichéd idea of an artist creating a work of genius wearing a beret, sporting a goatee and of course an artist palette in hand. Your kid probably isn’t old enough for facial hair, may not want to wear the beret but they’ll totally go for the Homemade Watercolors – 10 Color Artist Palette by Busy Little Elf on Etsy.
This kid’s watercolor set is “made entirely with ingredients out of the pantry!” Although the maker does warn that the paints can be a bit powdery, they claim they are a safe alternative to the kind you pick up at the local five and dime. It also comes with three paint brushes. All for the low, low price of $8. Now that’s a pretty good deal for the ingredients for a future masterpiece.
