Camlin Child Grip Crayons
Ideal for kids above the age of 3, these ergonomically designed crayons offer a comfortable and controlled grip, bridging the gap between finger crayons and standard crayons for developing artists.
Ideas to Boost Creativity in Children With Camlin
Here are some recommendations from us to get those creative juices flowing with our Early Learning products:
- Crayon Scribble Art Rainbows: Let your child create wide arcs of colours of the rainbow on a piece of paper using finger crayons. Guide them in layering colours to form a rainbow. This would help them in colour identification, motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.
- Play-Dough Fruit Basket: Shape tiny bananas, apples, grapes, and oranges using Camlin Play Dough and add leaves with green dough. You can help them with detailing by using a butter knife. This helps them in shape recognition and imaginative play.
- Alphabet Animals With Modelling Clay: Pick a letter and create an animal starting with it using play-dough. This encourages letter-object association and phonics.
- Rubbing Textures With Finger Crayons: Place leaves, coins, or textured cloth under paper. Rub Camlin Finger Crayons over it to reveal hidden patterns. This activity develops sensory curiosity and observation skills.
- Play-Dough Faces and Emotions: Roll out basic face shapes with Camlin Play Dough and add eyes, mouths, and eyebrows to explore emotions. Additionally, you can use different colours to represent moods, like blue for sad, yellow for happy, etc. It helps children with facial recognition and helps them identify emotions better, which can improve their emotional intelligence.
- 3-D Colouring With Clay: Draw or make your child draw a simple picture using Camlin Child Grip Crayons, like a cupcake or a fish, and let your child 'fill in' the areas with matching Camlin Play Dough colours like a 3D colouring book. Not only does it help improve children’s colour-matching abilities, but it also enhances their focus and motor skills when they attempt to fit the clay into the designated area.
- Clay Creature Habitat Diorama: This activity is for slightly older kids. Start with a cardboard box or a sturdy tray as the base for a diorama. Use Camlin modelling clay to sculpt various creatures – perhaps a friendly monster, a quirky alien, or an imaginary animal (you can also encourage your child to come up with different quirks for each creature!). Use child grip crayons to colour the cardboard background. Think of a starry night, lush jungle, or the deep sea. Once done, place these clay creatures inside the cardboard box. This is an incredible way to encourage imagination play, spatial reasoning, and motor development.
