How to start painting by numbers with children

After you select your design and place the order within 10-15 days you'll get it delivered to your doorstep. As a first step, you need to unpack the kit and control whether anything didn't get damaged during the transport. First of all, unroll the canvas and stretch it on the table in front of you. Have a look at the paints that are within the parcel. The paint pots will be marked with numbers and your reference image show these numbers with the colors themselves. Now you can start painting.
Be sure to always start a painting with light color tones. Also, try painting larger areas first and then move on to smaller ones. In case your paint pots get dried a bit, don’t worry, this is normal and it happens very often. All that you have to do is to pour a few drops of water into each paint pot and wait until it melts the paint. Then you’re good to go.

When working with kids, one must prepare to be alert. I would bet anything that your place gets messy with paints around. You’ll need to be patient.
