3D Pen Filament

Our family is rather new to using 3D pens so I thought I should stock up on filament because I am not sure how much of a learning curve there is with creating with it. My girls were super excited to see we got one and are coming up with ideas for making their own creations in the next few weeks. 

School is almost over and having something fun to do while learning a new skill is great for rainy days. With this filament from CoolPlus you get all 20 colors and each color is 32 feet long. That is amazing. My girls have lots of colors at their fingertips for making some neat projects. I might even have to give this 3D thing a try. 

The CoolPlus 3D filament can be found on my affiliate link below.

Canvas for your paint

Last Christmas we bought our older daughter a easel and paint set but of course the beginning set only had two tiny canvases to paint on, which left her wanting more. Luckily we were able to review these Professional Canvases from US Art Supply.

These are much better than the two that came with her easel and she is finally making more art. Check out her first painting above. She is very happy with the results are as we. She was told she could have them all but she had to take one and make something I will put with her pictures on our wall when we move.

The quality is much better than I have seen in our local stores, and something I will be adding to her wish list for the Holidays this year. I love that there were 10 pieces in all as well as having 5 different sizes for varied perspective.

Artist in a box

Love this for all of the art supplies the girls have, Now when they need something they know right where to look.

Love that they can decorate this anyway they want since it is made of wood and ready to be created into a masterpiece itself.

Now we keep our better art supplies in this for serious art. Not that crayon drawings aren't serious art but I think you get the idea.

Maybe even my husband will pick up the box and do a little art magic himself. He took art way back in college the first time around and quite enjoyed it, but then life with 6 kids took over and he kind of set it aside.

This is a really nice wooden box with lots of spaces to put your supplies in. Great for your novice or more advanced art person. Think Christmas, graduation, birthday, etc.

You can find this US art supply artist box on Amazon.

Maker Studio: Gears Set

As a mother I love toys that help my children use their imagination to keep themselves occupied. I have been blessed with children with great big imaginations that like to build forts, play with boxes, blocks, ride bikes, and explore nature.

Even if you don't have children who like to do these things you can encourage them by providing lots of paper, crayons, markers, boxes, and other sorts of recyclable materials so that on the those days where they can't find anything else to do you can give them this box filled with all sorts of craft items and really let their minds grow.


With Maker Studio Gears Set you can take it one step further by helping them make their creations move. This might keep them busy for years once they start playing around with the pieces you saved for them on top of the Maker Studio Gears Set.

You can purchase The Maker Studio Gears here or on Amazon.

6000 Piece Loom Band set (10 colors)

The rubber band looms and bracelets are still going strong. For us it is a problem finding bands in our local stores so I have been ordering from online. Recently we received the 6000 Piece Loom Band set in (10 colors). 

My girls were like vultures as soon as they were opened they were calling out the colors they wanted. I told them as soon as I got a few pictures they could have them. Soon as the pictures were done the bands disappeared and they have been making bracelets ever since.   

Not all bands are created equal I am sure some other parents out there have run into the bands that are way to big or to thin. You don't have to worry about these bands they are just right, and easy to work with. Like I said the pictures were in hurry so they could go off and create, so excuse the mess in the background.

You can buy the 6000 Piece Loom Band set (10 colors) here or on Amazon.
