Pastels

Soft pastels are a wonderful way to help children explore blending, shading and creative mark making. Whether you're working with early years or supporting key stage art projects, our pastel collection is ideal for both fun and focused creativity.

For the best results, pair pastels with our textured Cartridge paper or explore our range of recycled card for more structured artwork. These surfaces allow children to experiment with colour layering and smudging techniques.

Enhance creative play by combining pastels with collage resources or build an inspiring art corner with our full range of mark making supplies. For vibrant displays or take-home projects, don’t miss our display backgrounds and borders to frame their work beautifully.

From big, bold strokes to delicate details, pastels encourage hands-on discovery across all stages of learning—making them a staple for schools, nurseries and home educators alike.
