Exploring Light & Colour – An Artful Kids Etsy Gift Guide
It’s that time of year again, and I’ve been doing lots of window shopping for inspirational artful gifts on Etsy.
For this guide I thought I would focus on creative gifts that help the recipient to explore light and colour – some of the building blocks of art.
I have included gifts for both kids and the ‘Young at Art’ because you’re never too old to explore!
Prisms are a wonderful way of exploring light, and this artist produces a range of them which can be used creatively. Click on the image to find out more.
The artist has a variety of other unusual and inspiring products exploring light and colour. Explore the range here
Kaleidoscopes are loved by both children and adults, and this wooden one is provided in kit form so you can create a very special nature kaleidoscope where you can add and change your own contents. It can even be engraved with a personal message.

I make no apologies for including another kaleidoscope in my selection. This one is of heirloom quality, and with 2 colourful wheels to turn, offers an ever changing display. It can also be engraved and personalised, and is presented in a gift box.

This artist creates a range of light catcher mobiles, but this one is particularly beautiful.

This one’s for the kids – if you don’t want them to draw or paint on your windows, a ‘glass’ table easel is a great alternative. You can use them with paint, special window crayons, or chalk markers for different effects.

Building blocks with a difference: this translucent ‘stained glass’ set adds a different dimension to more traditional blocks.

For the photographer in your life – this portable set of coloured filters can be used creatively in multiple different ways.

Shadow theatres are a great way to play with light and shade. You can purchase ready made shadow puppets, and this theatre comes with a choice of themes, but the most creative way is for kids to draw, cut out and make their own to extend the possibilities even further!
