Painting and colouring pencils for children aged 6+: which one is better – felt-tip pens or coloured pencils?

The answer is that there is no generally valid answer! When it comes to creative painting with primary school kids, you can freely choose between the two pencil options. Both come with their own advantages, which is why they are ideal for painting with kids aged 6+. Felt-tip pens are perfect for bright colours and quick projects – coloured pencils, on the other hand, are easier to control and help children develop their curiosity when drawing.

Regardless of whether you are using felt-tip pens, wax crayons or wooden coloured pencils: the most important aspect is that the pencils and crayons match your child's interests and needs. This way, every creative session will not only be a total success, but it will also make your little artist very happy.

Colouring pencils for children aged 6+: this is why creative colouring is so important

Painting is a great way to encourage kids’ creative expression: it helps train fine motor skills and it has a great impact on their ability to think creatively.
