Between tablets, phones, television and games, screens have become a normal part of everyday family life. And while there’s absolutely a time and place for them, sometimes it’s lovely to switch everything off, sit around the table and simply make something together. That’s exactly what our Family Art Painting Kits at IndigoBlu are all about.
A Little Time to Just Be Together
Some of the loveliest family moments don’t need to be complicated.
An afternoon around the kitchen table. A few paints. Something yummy to snack on. Plenty of chatting, laughing and probably a little bit of paint where it isn’t supposed to be!
Creative activities give children and grown-ups something to focus on together, without the constant distractions of notifications, scrolling or what’s happening on the next screen.
And the best bit? Nobody has to be “good at art”.
It’s not about creating a masterpiece. It’s about spending time together, experimenting with colour and enjoying the process.
Creativity Without the “What Shall We Do?” Stress
We all know the feeling of wanting to do something creative with the kids, only to realise you need twelve different supplies, three things you don’t have and an hour of preparation before you’ve even started.
That’s why we love a kit.
IndigoBlu Family Art Studio Painting Kits bring everything together into one creative project, making it easy to sit down and get started. Instead of worrying about planning the activity, you can concentrate on the part that actually matters – enjoying it together.
They’re perfect for a rainy afternoon, a quiet Sunday, school holidays or simply one of those days when everyone could do with stepping away from their screens for a while.
Let Them Make It Their Own
One of our favourite things about painting is that there’s no single “right” result.
Give two people exactly the same project and they’ll almost certainly create something completely different.
Children can choose their own colours, experiment, make mistakes, change their minds and create something that’s completely theirs. Grown-ups can join in too — because creative time shouldn’t just be for the kids!
You could even turn it into a family painting afternoon, with everyone creating their own version and revealing the finished pieces at the end.
No competition. No perfection. Just creativity.
Something You Can Keep
And unlike an afternoon spent scrolling or watching another episode, at the end of your creative time together you’ve made something tangible.
Something your child can proudly say, “I made that!”
Pop it in their bedroom, display it somewhere at home or give it to a grandparent as a present. Long after the paints have been packed away, you’ve got a little reminder of the afternoon you spent making it together as you can display it in your frame provided in the kit.
Make Some Mess, Make Some Memories
Finding quality time together doesn’t always mean planning a big day out.
Sometimes all you need is to clear a little space at the table, put the phones away, get the paints out and see what happens.
So next time you’re looking for a screen-free activity, why not make your next family afternoon a creative one?
Put down the screens, pick up a paintbrush and make something together. 🎨
