Here are some of my favourites.
For young children, any colouring books from Prestel publisher.
More than a colouring book. Children learn about the artist and his/her life and are encouraged to try the artist's style
An inspiring true story about the life of Henri Rousseau. Beautiful story, fantastic illustration in the style of the artist. (My favourite artist).
I read all the reviews on Amazon.ca and could not wait to receive the book. I was not disappointed.

Art supplies kids would love to receive!
Mungyo artist soft pastel box of 24 (de Serres)
Creative paper clay (Wallacks)
Gedeo Self hardening clay kit (Wallacks)
Pébéo Colorex watersoluble ink (de Serres)
Pebeos' Colorex range is the ideal watercolour ink for professional illustrators and draughtsmen who appreciate a bright yet velvety finish and perfectly uniform solid colours. The vividness of the colours as well as their intense concentration have made this range a reference in art schools around the world.
Pébéo Gouache (de Serres)
All these books and materials are lovely! Never mind giving them to children, I want them for myself! ;)

This is one of the great part of teaching children, I get to buy fantastic, inspiring art books to help me prepare art classes and try out various products to see which one works the best for the project I have in mind!
