Children often come back to the art supplies that change how a finished picture feels to them. At first, these gel pens might be for a shiny border or a name written across the top of the page. Soon, your child may be choosing which scent belongs with which colour, or checking the page again once the shimmer catches the light. Some days it is one bright detail; other days every pen gets a turn before the picture is called done. Without anyone really noticing, art time becomes less about filling a page and more about discovering what the page can become.
