Faber-Castell Young Artist Texture Painting Set GIVEAWAY
I was lucky enough to score this awesome painting set for my son, Jack, and we have been very impressed with it. Ever since we got this Faber-Castell art set in the mail last week, Jack has requested painting as his art project every single day. The set says ages 5+, but at 3.5yrs old, it’s perfect for Jack, and even Shane (2.5) and Finley (22mo) love to paint with the fun brushes included. The set comes in a great little clear, zipper case with handles that Jack calls his “art bag.”
It has 5 different types of texture paint brushes that are varied in color and rubber based, so they’re super easy to use and just as easy to clean (a plus for Jack AND his mama!). It also includes a bowl for mixing paint, paper, and 5 colors of non-toxic tempera paint. Jack has been experimenting with mixing the paints to generate secondary colors and his own unique color concoctions. He loves mixing different amounts of red and blue to alter the shade of purple, etc., so that has been very educational. The textured brushes are really neat, and Jack has used them to make things he calls “waves, flowers, fireworks, tire tracks,” and other designs he wouldn’t have been able to create with the standard paint brushes that just glob color onto paper. I love the Faber-Castell kits because they make arts & crafts so easy for parents and so fun for kids. Their website also has a craft of the month page that provides creative ideas for little projects parents can do with their kids. I highly recommend this painting set, which retails for $17.99.

I love the soap kit and shrinky dink card kit. You kids are adorable.
My daughter has suddenly gotten all “girlified”. I think she would love the Polka Dot Purse or the Tea Party Dress Up Kit!
I would love to win this for my niece! She would love the tea party kit too!
Oh how fun! My favorite b-day gift to give the 5-6 year old crowd is the “create your own book” - it is always a hit! My little ones would love these paints.
I love all things shrinky dink- and I think the shrinky dink Easter tree looks like a lot of fun! This paint set is such a great giveaway! You rock!
I’d like the shrinky dinks set! (Although the make your own lipbalm is appealing, too!!)
the ribbon and felt tote would be fun for the Ethiopian Princess…she’s such a girly-girl. Never too many handbags. Just like me!! But I know she would LOVE the paint set. It’s one of her fave things to do.
One of these days I have to win one of your giveaways!
I’d love to give the texture painting set to my niece for her birthday.

I love the sock puppet kits!
This is right up Aiden’s alley. I love the sock puptet kit!
I would love the texture painting kit for my twins–it would be perfect for our new easel, especially if its easy to clean!
One of these days I’m gonna win one of these giveaways! I like the Valentine shrinky dinks - they were some of my favorites as a kid.
I am so totally about the Shrinky Dinks. How could you not love something that requires heating up plastic and markers. If I bought Shrinky Dinks, my kids would have the same chance of playing with it as they did with the cool creepy crawler kit I found at a yard sale. I see earrings and jewelry in my future.
Make Your Own Animal Puppets, so cute!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love love love the shrinky dinks I Love You tree… although the paint brushes that Jack is using looks fun too!
I think the paint set would be a major winner in this house!

THE SOCK PUPPETS ARE MY FAVE AND I KNOW MY DAUGHTER WOULD LOVE THEM, SHE LOVES ANYTHING CRAFTY AND THE PAINT SET LOOKS LIKE IT IS RIGHT UP HER ALLEY! I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
My boys would love the Race Car Nightlight kit on the Clearance page.
I’d love the Wee Enchanted garden kit!
I definitely want to check out the textured painting kit (For free would be GREat, Mr. Random guy!). My other favorites on the F-C website are the popup book and other do-it-yourself book. Will be looking for those at a store near me!

Totally a fun thing for my little dude. The sock puppets are one of our favorites to make.

The sock puppets are a hit around here, but this looks like so much fun too!
You had mentioned the sock puppets in the fall and I’d forgotten all about them. We’re taking the girls to Europe for 5 weeks this spring and the giveaway reminded me about them. That would be great to keep as a rainy day activity when we’re stuck in a hotel room.
The paint set looks awsome. I also love any of the shrinky dinks.
The Wizards and Magic dress up set looks pretty cool:)
Love the Create Your Own Pop Up Books kit. The kids are REALLY into popups right now, especially since Ed brought the most detailed popup Very Hungry Caterpillar ever created from Japan. They’d love to create their own!
Okay, I actually signed into my Twitter Account after several weeks to Tweet about it!
What a great product! I teach art to young children and families- it’s nice to be able to share this info with them. I usually send them home with old chopped up toothbrushes and paintbrushes. These are much prettier! I checked out the pop up book kit! Wow, kids of all ages will love it!
I totally forgot about Shrinky Dinks! I loved those as a kid, and now will probably have to pick some up for mine. They’d love the paint set too!
The Finger Prints Painting Set looks cute too, would love to win the painting set but regardless love the kits, great site, thanks.
I like this set and the old school art supplies - drawing etc. I am dying to see where you match, btw.
I would love to win the painting kit for my daughter. She loves art projects! I like the Shrinky Dinks from the web-site.
My daughter really likes little stones, so the Opti Art kit would be really neat for her now to make her own colorful stone creations. The paints look fun!
My daughters would love the tea party set.
I love the Shrinky Dinks - I Heart You Cards. My daughter is 9 years old and Im actually going to order them for her. Thanks for the website. I cannot wait to play with them! I mean for HER to play with them…lol
Oh wow! So much fun stuff but I would love some of those Shrinky Dinks - totally takes me back to my childhood!
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool paint set!

I like the My Handprint kit. I can’t get enough of my kid’s cute little hands!
My daughter is crazy about butterflies and loved the Beautiful Butterflies - she would also love the butterfly mobile. Sadly, my son would probably try to eat most of this stuff (he always puts crayons in his mouth) but will eventually love it!
Katie loves crafts. I have bought some of these sets from Michaels. She really loved the shrinky dinks.
Shrinky dinks! I loved those as a kid and have been looking to find them for my daughter.
Make your own popupbooks, this is a neat idea! My baby girl loves pop up books, this would be fun for her.
I love the entire Creativity for Kids line and have used several of the kits in the past. Right now, I have my eye on the Wee Enchanted Garden because my little ones are totally into growing things, especially after their gardening experiences last summer.
Sock puppets!
Hmmm…I like the Young Artist Learn to Paint set (with regular brushes), but the Enchanted Garden Kit looks pretty fun too!
the beautiful butterfly kit–Lucy’s totally into the second fancy nancy book bonjour butterfly!

I’d love to win thisto give away, because there’s no way in hell am I going to give my boys more ammo to bring down the value of our house! Just kidding. The kids would love to get their hands on this to use with the new craft table their uncle built them.
it has to be the tats. Nothing makes me giggle more than seeing tattoos on babies and todders–I want to put one Duc’s arm about I {heart} mom.
Shrinky Dinks for sure! I had so much fun with them as a kid! A friend just passed your blog along to me and I love it! Our families are similar and I’m sure you have as much fun as I do on a daily basis!
