| Hide & Seek Rock Painting Kit |
David loves to draw, color and paint, and is a very creative child, so it is not surprising that 'Creativity for Kids' has a variety of creative kits that appeal to kids like him.
Creativity for Kids Company
Creativity for Kids is a division of the Faber-Castell company, established in 1761 by the cabinet maker Kaspar Faber and is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world.
The company is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils with a varied range of products for writing, drawing and creative design.
Faber-Castell acquired Creativity for Kids, the leading U.S. specialty manufacturer of creative activity products for children of all ages, in 1999 and is now headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The next year (2000) the company introduced Children’s Art Products, which are a line of playing and learning art supplies for children.
The creative kits include a wide variety of artistic play from painting, jewelry making, garden crafts, lighting crafts, science-related invention kits, and a host of other kits in many fields.
You can see the whole range of kits at their website.
Hide & Seek Rock Painting Kit
The kit I chose for my grandson, David, age 8, was the Hide & Seek Rock Painting Kit.

This rock painting kit is called 'Hide & Seek' because you can hide the rocks outside and leave clues on the company's Facebook page for people to go and find your rocks. The online link is printed on the package.
I thought this would be a fun project for David & Tyler who love to spend time outside in parks in their area. And when they finish painting all the rocks that came in the kit, they can find more rocks in parks and woods to continue using the kit.

The company's motto states:
“Rock Painting is a fun way for you, your friends and family to spread kindness, encouragement and happiness throughout your community – one rock at a time."
Creativity for Kids helps develop children's problem solving and critical thinking skills. I found this rock painting kit to be a fun and delightful educational toy for my young grandsons.

Oh, what an awesome gift! Of course, I love that it is a craft first, but what a really cool way to encourage a hide and seek game that truly the whole family could play. I would say it is ingenious marketing, but that sounds too artificial. It really is a great idea and an awesome way to encourage kids to play outside again!
ReplyDeleteIt's also a creative craft for 'inside' days too, Mouse. David and little brother are enjoying this creative kit. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteThis a a great project for kids and Adults! For the city kids it is good it comes with the River rocks. On the next outing to the River area the kids could collect more Rocks also and more paint from the craft store to do more projects. I used to collect Rocks. My friend in Canada regularly paints rocks for her garden with her Grand kids. Awesome review and ideas!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry. I liked the idea that the kit came with the basic contents (rocks, paints, etc.) needed to get started. And it's neat that by collecting more rocks and getting more craft paints, this is a project that can be continued and done anytime. Thanks for your visit.
DeleteI didn't realize they had kits! I've been painting and hiding rocks for the last 6 months as part of the local Peace Rock Project. I'm glad to see kits with everything you need to get kids started. It's so much fun1
ReplyDeleteMel, how cool to hear about your Peace Rock project. I can see how rewarding such a project would be. I was drawn to this kit for my 8-year-old grandson because he likes to paint and draw, but the hiding of the painted rocks I thought would appeal to him too. I am going to look into this Peach Rock Project and perhaps add a link about it to this article. Thanks so much for telling me about it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat gift idea for a child! Even unartistic me would have enjoyed it. I know my kids would have loved it, since they were both artistic. My son would have loved hiding the rocks for people to find. I also would have enjoyed looking for the rocks hidden by others.
ReplyDeleteMy grandsons are enjoying this kit, Barbara. I think it's a project that would be fun for any child, artistic or not. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI hadn't realized that this could be purchased as a kit, very helpful to me as I've wanted to purchase it for my step-grands - saving it to my gift list, thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteDelighted I gave you a good gift ideas, Barbara.
DeleteI the collection of painted rocks that your grandsons have created!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenda. I had to get my son to take a picture for me of this group of finished painted rocks so I could show them off in this article.
