Oil pastels are a fantastic medium for young children to explore color and creativity.
- Let kids explore different color combinations and enjoy the process rather than focusing on perfection.
- Encourage them to draw simple shapes and objects before filling them with blended colors.
- Use black outlines (as in the image) to define shapes and make the artwork pop!
This activity helps young children develop fine motor skills, creativity, and a love for colors while learning through play.

Oil pastels are a wonderful medium for children aged 5-10 to explore blending, shading, and layering techniques while developing their artistic skills. The artwork above demonstrates how young artists can create vibrant backgrounds by blending colors smoothly, using techniques such as finger blending, tissue smudging, or layering pastels to achieve depth. At this stage, children can experiment with mixing warm and cool colors, adding highlights and shadows to give their drawings more dimension. The bold black outlines in the artwork also show how details can be enhanced by using a contrasting color, encouraging kids to refine their fine motor skills. Engaging in oil pastel activities not only nurtures creativity but also builds confidence in self-expression through art.
