Your kids aren't really the paint-by-numbers type. But an open-ended art experience means they need the supplies to help them think (and color) outside the box.

Clementine Studio offers kids thoughtful materials that foster imaginative creations. These earth-friendly art kits use natural, high-quality ingredients as well as recycled packaging. The eye-catching reusable tins (use them later to store one's portfolio of stick figures) come equipped with organic play dough, air-dry clay, wooden paintbrushes, glitter shakers and other essentials.

Let your mini mixed-media masters dabble in watercolor, collage or printmaking. Just don't be afraid to call it what it is: play.
