I'd like to stock up on some non-toxic art supplies for my son. Any reader favorites that I shouldn't miss?

Thanks!

Hi star3night,
I recently got an email from babyfit.com about natural art supplies. Here are some of their suggestions:

"Stockmar Beeswax crayons: Harmless to your health and to the environment, beeswax crayons are long lasting, beautiful, and fun.


Stockmar Modeling beeswax: A modeling "clay" made of beeswax, this product smells great and makes the perfect medium for your little sculptor. It doesn't smudge, crumble or bleed, and its color is pure and bright.


Livos Hemp-based finger paint: Free of petrochemicals, these vegan (no animal ingredients) paints are made without heavy metals, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), or other harmful ingredients. They derive their colors from vegetable dyes or all-natural mineral pigments.


Make-it-yourself paste: Make a natural paste by adding cold water to flour until you achieve a paste-like consistency, and simmer for five minutes, stirring."
