Like most art teachers, I have a hard time throwing away anything. I see magazine holders in cereal boxes, buildings in oatmeal canisters- and a canvas in a ripped paper grocery bag. The last of which is especially fun to hang on the refrigerator for little hands to draw on.

And see that fantastic marker holder? It was a gift from a friend right before Billy was born. If you'd like to make one of your own, directions here. It's been so much fun for drawing, as well as entertaining (putting markers in and out... in and out...). Happy drawing!
