Charlie is out for the Summer which everyone knows so I wanted to make sure we had some things we could do during the day. As David is always gone during the day and we are stuck at home.
Charlie wants to live on his game system 24/7. Which I refuse for Charlie to do. Because all children should be outside for at least part of the day running and playing.
I was getting things for Charlie and I to do this Summer I wanted to make sure we had lots of art supplies as we can draw either inside or outside. Plus, we can take art supplies with us when we are out and about. Charlie always has something to do.
When I see Charlie getting out the art supplies and drawing it makes me very happy as it means Charlie will be using his imagination. Because even if we are using a coloring book, we can create a story about the pages we are coloring.
I would like to share with you the colored pencils I purchased for Charlie and David to use when we are coloring. As they prefer colored pencils more than crayons. Although I am different as I would rather use crayons to color with.
I picked up a set of xonexpens.com at the store the other day for Charlie and David. I ended up getting a set of 24 colored pencils so they would have a lot of different colors to use when coloring.
I liked how the colored pencils was already sharpened when I purchased them as it meant they would be ready to use anytime they wanted to sit down and color. I also like how easy this set of colored pencils to hold.
Xonexpens color smooth and the colors do not smear when coloring with them. They also work well when Charlie wants to draw. Plus, I even used these colored pencils to write a letter with Charlie and using them to write the Charlie. The colors were so fun and not to bright or to light that I couldn’t see what they were.
I like how Xoneexpens colored the top of each pencil as it shows what the color will look like when we use them. Plus, it allowed Charlie and I to decide which colors we like and didn’t like.
Xonexpens also comes in a cute plastic case, and I like how it snaps as it means the pens will not fall out of the case. If I was still homeschooling Charlie, these are the only colored pens I would ever use.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
