Ren, has he ever worked with watercolor pencils? I have a set of watercolor pencils that I got from Stampin' Up. They are *fantastic* I think they were $20 for a set of 24 (not sure on the number, but there are quite a few) and they are just beautiful. You can use them like regular colored pencils or you can add water to them after you have drawn to give them a water color effect. I had a large collection of Prisma pencils that Emily has inherited. She has used my water color pencils a few times (I'm quite protective of them and my chalks for some odd reason - money) and she loves the way they are soft and blendable.

It's funny how when we give our children good quality the demand good quality for there on out!
