Easel
Crayola Crayons,
Markers and Sidewalk Chalk: The Art Box carries a
variety of Crayola Products including the big 64 box of crayons,
stubby thick crayons for little hands (also handy for coloring
candle wax), Classic Markers and the fat stick Sidewalk Chalk.
Finger Paint
and Paper: We carry the Sargent brand of finger paint
in the 4 color and 8 color assortments. The Art Box
also carries replacement paper since the paint usually
outlasts the paper provided in the color boxes. This brand
is fun, reliable, and inexpensive.
Face Paint:
The Art Box carries an assortment of waterbased
face paint sets. All are non-toxic and clean up with soap
and water.
Liquid Tempera:
Jazz Brand Liquid Tempera is easy and fun to use.
Just open the bottle, pour it into a cup, and you are ready
to start. There is no mixing necessary, although it can be
thinned with water if you like your paint runnier. The
Art Box carries 10 different colors.
Dry Tempera:
Your best value in tempera paint, the Palmer Dry
Temp brand mixes with water and comes in lots of beautiful
colors including gold and silver.
Klutz Books:
These wonderful books are for kids of all ages. The
topics range from painting manuals to how-to books on beading,
costumes and makeup. Klutz books usually have a hands on component,
such as polymer clay provided with the book called Clay,
or colored floss and beads provided with the book called Friendship
Bracelets. The Books give good clear instructions and
provide inspiration to move on to your own inventions. At
The Art Box our selection varies seasonally,
but they're so much fun we keep quite a few in stock.

Easel: One of the main attractions at Creative
Framing and The Art Box is a well
loved and constantly used children's easel. Every day, moms
come in with children who gather around the easel and draw
while mom makes framing decisions or chooses art supplies.
This easel has a dry erase board on one side, and a chalk
board on the other. A roll of drawing paper is suspended at
the top so the paper can be pulled down onto the hard surface
for drawing. This sturdy, fold away easel has trays to hold
chalk and paint cups, and is priced around $70.00. We can
attest to its long life. Ours has been used every day for
almost three years and it is still as stable as the day we
put it together.
