If your child has mastered the art of painting on a blank piece of paper and wants to take their painting to the next level, paint-by-number kits are a great option. Paint-by-numbers can be very satisfying—even for adults who invest in a kit and make it a full-on art hour with their kids. You watch a blank canvas with borders, lines and numbers turn into a vibrant image. The paint-by-number kits also test your child’s ability to follow instructions and help with their fine motor skills. Your child will focus on getting inside the lines for these paintings, and the kits will allow their creativity to flourish.
We rounded up the best paint-by-numbers for kids. All of the picks use acrylic paint, so it’ll be an easy, fast-drying paint for kids to work with. The kits also come with three brushes of different sizes. Within our picks, there’s one for beginners. There’s a mama cat with her babies in a unique painting that any cat-loving children will love. Our other pick is for kids who can’t get enough color. The only thing these selections don’t come with are frames. If you want to display your child’s artwork, you’ll have to buy those separately.
