You can usually find them with the seasonal decorations (mine has easter eggs on it). They are very sturdy. I lay one on the table or floor when we start crafting and I don't even bother to wipe it clean when we are done. Just let it dry, fold it up and put it away.

(Its the mess that is daunting). Something we do regularly , I stitched up a thick sketch book, I keep crayons and markers in a bag and we pull it out almost daily to doodle in. I love that it nearly has a year of family scribbles poem's notes and hand and foot teachings and it is all bound together in a book.

My children are now 20 and 17, but when they were younger, we did so many creative projects together. Sometimes, the house was just so full of creations! It must be the same around your house.<br /><br />They are growing up to be very creative thinking, in very different fields. I think those earlier experiences has thought them a way of thinking and a way of life.

I would always encourage my niece to draw me pictures of Steve ..

This all brings back many memories for me, as I saved all sorts of fun stuff for my girls to play with. They created many fun things, some of which I still have (to include ornaments that still decorate my tree after more than 40 years!). I treasure that special time and fun we had. I might add that my first daughter had my undivided attention for nearly her first 3 years and thus got the most out of our creative times. She studied design for architecture in college. Allowing children to be free and do their own thing with creative materials is the best way to encourage their individuality. When they get to school, they all want their art to be the same as the other's, which it can never be - after all, we all have our own way of writing our names. Creativity is the same. I congratulate you both on what you are doing with Lucy.maevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697020477754729610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-5444701515032970092013-12-16T09:32:44.007-08:002013-12-16T09:32:44.007-08:00Some of my best memories are crafting with my gran...Some of my best memories are crafting with my grandmother. She would mix water and flour together and make paste. Then I would cut up seed catalogs and make collages with all the flower pictures. She saved tin foil, fabric scraps, etc. for me to craft with. I think my love for art comes from her.
