Creativity is an indispensable condition for the harmonious development of any baby. Drawing is one of the main aspects of children's expression. He becomes a tool for communication of the peanut, a reflection of his world. When drawing skills are still very small, the child cannot masterfully use the sharpener and adjust the pressure of the pencil, felt-tip pens come to the aid of the novice artist. Bright and light, they will help to realize the idea of the baby. However, today I would like to tell not about ordinary, classic felt-tip pens, but about very peculiar air options.
Nothing will be able to stimulate the parent and child to engage in creative work, like bad weather on a day off. However, air felt-tip pens can be used not only on rainy weekends, but also on sunny days. They offer endless possibilities for the realization of the most daring ideas. In this article, you will learn about air pens, how to use them. In addition, here you will find photos of ideas for creativity.
How are they interesting?
This kind of felt-tip pens is interesting because with the help of them you will not be able to draw in the usual sense of the word. Drawings with air felt-tip pens are rendered with paint blown onto paper. It must be blown from a distance of about 8-10 mm. So you will get funny splashes and blots of various colors.
At what age can I draw with such markers?
The recommended age indicated on the package is from 4-5 years. However, if your baby is a little younger, but you are sure that you can already trust him with air-tip pens without prejudice to wallpaper and surrounding objects, then the child will be happy to create with the help of magic tubes with paint. With their help, he will create truly unusual and original masterpieces.
How to draw with air felt-tip pens?
Each air felt-tip pen is designed the same way. Inside it is a rod with paint. In addition, it has two caps: transparent and color. When air felt-tip pens are closed, the colored cap protects them from drying out. In order to prepare an unusual marker for drawing, you just need to swap the covers. And you can blow!
Air felt-tip pens are reusable material for creativity. Before each use, they must be collected, and after use - torn. However, this is done so simply that it will not be difficult even for your baby! Stencil air pens are included. However, it is best to first try to draw with the baby in the usual way - without them, so that the child gets used to the new material. In addition, creating in free mode, you can create a very beautiful background for the application. Further, you can already use stencils.
Idea for creativity
Find any simple black and white pictures, print them, cut them out and use them as a stencil. In the process of drawing, you can use one color or several: for this you need to blow on the same area of the picture, first through one felt-tip pen, and then through another. Then get a beautiful mix of colorful spray. In order to control and adjust the color saturation and intensity, you can blow weaker or stronger, raise the felt-tip pen higher or lower it lower above the paper, and stay longer in some places. You can make the coating more delicate and blurry, or more dense and uniform. It all depends on your patience and imagination!
With air felt-tip pens, you can show your creative abilities and experiment with the end result, if, for example, you close a piece of paper during painting with a piece of paper, draw a slightly damp brush on it or use pieces of lace or braid as a stencil. In this way, original backgrounds for applications and cards are obtained. You can supplement the drawing, which is obtained using air felt-tip pens, with other materials: watercolors, gouache, colored pencils. And you can go further and use colored paper, sparkles, colored tape, other materials.
Air felt-tip pens and speech gymnastics
One of the main advantages of this material for children's creativity is its beneficial effect on the baby's speech apparatus. If a child regularly draws with felt-tip pens, he can significantly strengthen the articulation muscles and learn how to better manage them. It will also prepare the basis for pure sound pronunciation. So parents can complement traditional articulation gymnastics with such an interesting and creative exercise.
Despite the age limit, these felt-tip pens can be recommended to those kids who are just learning to speak. In this case, the lesson must be held under the supervision of adults. Older children with the help of air pens can improve diction and oratory skills.
