A Freeport, N.Y., couple has created a new product called Pint Size Painters, aimed at educating children ages 5 and older about famous artists and giving them a chance to create their own work based on the artist's style.
The first kit in the line, which launched in mid-January, features Vincent van Gogh. It comes with two blank canvasses, brushes, paint, a tarp, photos of van Gogh and of his famous painting of sunflowers, facts for the adult to share with the child and a straw hat like one van Gogh frequently wore while creating.
"Kids can wear it while they paint," says stay-at-home mother Kathryn Messina, 34, of Freeport. Messina created the kits with her husband, Jason Weber, 39, who works in sales. The couple have one son, Vance, 15 months.
