Why Safe Art Supplies Matter for Toddlers
It's a real worry for new moms and dads — what are safe art materials and craft supplies for my young child? As a mom of twins, I remember that concern, and I worked hard to find supplies that sparked creativity while ensuring health and safety. It's honestly one of the main reasons I started Stubby Pencil Studio — to help other families navigate the massive amount of choices. Today, my girls are well past the stage of worry, but I hear from concerned parents every day and that keeps me motivated and excited to offer eco-friendly selection of crayons and non-toxic art supplies that let kids explore freely — without exposing them to harmful ingredients.
