4 art staples are now under $50 for Prime Day
Make savings on colouring pencils, easels and more.
I don't know about you but I'm addicted to buying new art materials. There's something so exciting about opening a fresh new box of pencils, a favourite notebook or some paints. But this addiction isn't exactly cheap – and with the frequency I use them, they can sometimes run out quickly.
Whether you're a Prime member or not, Prime Day offers an opportunity to get art materials for less. I've sought out the top products in our guides such as the best colouring pencils, best watercolour pencils and more. Some of the products are on sale for Prime members only (get a free Prime trial here) but others are available for everyone, and they're all under $50.
