Empowering Kids Through Creativity

At Carl & Kay, we believe that creative play makes a HUGE difference in children’s lives. We understand the immeasurable value of giving kids safe, creative outlets to allow their hands to create and their minds to expand.

We are on a mission to empower kids through creativity. Our quality arts and crafts supplies encourage kids to use their imagination, think for themselves, and solve problems creatively.

Because, when kids create, AMAZING things happen!

Creative Kids Are Healthy Kids

Fine Motor Skills: Artistic activities that connect visual and tactile modalities—eye-hand coordination—help prepare the brain to understanding complex ideas like relationships, shapes, and numbers.

Problem Solving: By engaging in creative activities, children develop confidence in their abilities as they learn how to innovate—a critical skill for success in life.

Wellness & Mental Health: Art is a vehicle for emotion. It is a self-soothing activity that allows the creator to work through ideas and issues, building the foundation needed for abstract thinking and healthy emotional responses.

Projects & Playtime:

Quiet Critters: Great for classrooms! Using the included google eyes, add eyes to a pompom—but no mouth. Use the smaller pompoms for feet, toes, ears, spots, etc! These cute critters don't like to hear a lot of noise. If a child is working quietly, they get the chance to look after a critter. But if it gets too noisy, the critter will need to be moved to a quieter place.

Fine Motor Skills: Whether kids want to sweep, swat, scoop or shoot, pompoms can help them develop coordination and dexterity.

Color Sorting: Help young children learn to recognize and identify colors by sorting poms into color groups.

Sensory Activities: Fuzzy, fluffy goodness! Add them to your sensory bin for added color, texture and size.
