Paint by Numbers for Kids

Bright animals, frogs, pandas, giraffes, pigs and colourful insects make up our paint by numbers for kids collection. These designs were selected for younger painters with fun subjects and a more approachable level of detail than many of our standard kits. Free UK shipping is included.

Paint by Numbers for Kids

The designs here were chosen with younger painters in mind. Instead of busy city scenes or highly detailed portraits, the collection leans towards bright animals, clear shapes and subjects that are easy to recognise before the painting even begins.

Current designs include pandas, giraffes, frogs, pigs, parrots, crabs, insects and other colourful animals. That makes the collection especially useful for children who are more likely to stay interested when they already like the subject they are painting.

What Makes a Kit Easier for Kids?

Large areas and clear boundaries help much more than simply choosing a “childish” picture. A cute animal can still be difficult if it contains hundreds of tiny shapes, so the products here have been selected with the actual painting process in mind.

For older children or anyone ready for a wider choice of themes, Paint by Numbers for Beginners includes easier designs from across the full standard range.

Animals Are a Big Part of the Collection

Most younger painters naturally gravitate towards animals, which is why they appear so often here. Pandas, frogs, giraffes and colourful birds also connect this collection with Animal Paint by Numbers, where there is a much larger choice once the painter is comfortable with more detail.

A Screen-Free Project with Something to Show for It

Paint by numbers gives children a clear task to return to rather than a short activity that is finished in a few minutes. Each completed section moves the picture forward, and the finished canvas gives them something tangible to keep or display afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a child need adult help with paint by numbers?

It depends on the child’s age and confidence. Younger painters may benefit from help opening paint pots, cleaning brushes and working through smaller sections, while older children may prefer to complete the kit independently.

Does a child need to finish the kit in one session?

No. Shorter painting sessions are often easier for younger painters. The kit can be put away and continued later as long as the paint pots are closed tightly between sessions.
