I've been holed up in my work area with these lovely rolls of fabric that are hanging around in the corner against my inspiration wall. I will have to put up some swatches up soon. I was supposed to be ahead of things but the kids and I got sick at the end of last week. Here I am catching up. In order for me not to feel guilty about putting in time for my projects, I always set up projects nearby for the kids.
I love the little canvasses that you can buy at the art store. The paintings seem "real" and with substance when you let the kids paint on a bit of canvas as opposed to just a sheet of white paper.The kids love Modelling Magic that Crayola puts out too. They make replicas of their favorite Pokeman characters.
Big A loves to paint so I buy him these little wood kits that he can assemble and paint. See, more use of time!
They love being creative and I love the results. No guilt here. No sir. xo, L
