Fantasy-themed paint kits generally have bright colour palettes and beautiful imagery that stirs a child's imagination. They are also perfect for storytelling as parents and kids alike can talk about the scene while painting, and enjoy this activity together.

Some kits may even contain glow-in-the-dark elements or paintings that sparkle when complete, which adds a whole other level of wonder and surprise to the completed artwork!

Art not only decorates; it uplifts as well.  Inspirational Painting by Numbers kits that include positive sayings as well as simple pictures are a fantastic activity for young girls learning how to navigate their world.  Words such as "Be Brave," "Dream Big," "You Are Magic," paired with pictures of rainbows, stars, or butterflies, are not only entertaining to paint, but they also help to nurture their self-esteem and reinforce positive beliefs in themselves.

Nature-themed designs are classic choices, and they can even be a great starting point for girls moving on to a more advanced style as their painting gets more developed.

5. Personalised Paint by Number Kits

For a genuinely unique journey, custom paint by number kits are a wonderful gift. You can easily create a customised painting with a photo of a child, pet, or favourite memory from a family moment. 

Can you just imagine the smile on a young girl's face when she sees her photo on a canvas? It could be an image of a birthday portrait, a photo from a beach vacation, or a photo of her holding her pet bunny. The attachment and emotional connection to the image make it even more fun! 

They are perfect for developing confidence and connection to art, and can also be great memories that can be framed and enjoyed for years!

6. Seasonal and Holiday Kits

Seasonal themes - winter snowmen, spring flowers, summer beaches, or Halloween pumpkins - are timely and festive projects, especially during school holidays, where children have free time and need fun indoor projects. 

Typically, kits with smaller canvases and uncomplicated designs work well in short painting sessions or weekend projects. Additionally, they make neat handmade gifts or decorations you can hang up in your house for the holidays.  

Another idea is that you can take your painting process to the next level by adding music or seasonal snacks to help make it a family tradition!

7. Cartoon and Pop Culture Characters

For girls who have a favourite TV program, book, or cartoon, kits that feature a popular character can be especially thrilling. Whether the art features magical unicorns, cuddly animated animals, or heroes from beloved children's literature, creating a picture of a known character is guaranteed to enhance the experience. 

These kits are frequently bright and colourful, uncomplicated and fun for a young girl to work on, while being creative and developing storytelling and creativity. 

Ensure the kit is appropriate for the age of the child and also uses non-toxic, wash-up paints, particularly for younger children.

8. Abstract and Modern Art Kits

Abstract or modern art kits can help students demonstrate creativity in other ways while embracing bold colours. While typical images are fun, abstract designs such as colour-block, create-your-own rainbow, geometric shapes, or silhouettes allow young artists to play with bright colours and shapes. 

Abstract designs provide more opportunities for children to express their interpretations of the art and are helpful in creative development and visual perspective. They also look great when finished and framed, and add a modern vibe to home décor.

Choosing the Right Kit: What to Consider

When trying to choose the best Painting by Numbers kit for a young girl, consider the following: 

  • Age Level: Smaller children will benefit from kits that have fewer areas and larger sections. Older children will be able to take on more intricate designs without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Type of Paint: Check that the paints are water-based, non-toxic, and easily cleanable.
  • Canvas Size: Smaller canvases are typically more manageable and less intimidating for beginners.
  • Theme: Pick a design that matches her interests (animals, flowers, princesses, or even a photo of her own).
  • Skill Level: Some Painting by Numbers kits are marketed for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users. Pick one that causes just enough of a challenge without being frustrating.
