Ideal things to buy for 5 year old who loves art

[dinny]

and craft - want to get something special, thinking watercolour pencils, good paper... any particularly good sets of paints/pencils/craft stiff anyone would recommend? thanks

how old?

OK, now I've read the title.......

What about metallic pencils, photosensitive paper, paper crimper, just a selection of tissue paper, card, different mediums, pastels, paints etc...?

Are you anywhere near London?
I just spent a really fab hour in Cass Art (in Islington, but other London shops) and was just bowled over by what was there. I have a 10 yo and a 5 yo and loads of stuff and lots on sale.

yes, Posey - we are in Surrey...will Google it.
