Keeping with the "good enough" thread of discussion from yesterday, let's also remember how joyfully simple creating can be. That sometimes a few simple materials are all you need. Around our house we love to use these:
Their vibrant colors draw so smoothly- on paper, on top of collages, even on top of macaroni. One of Isia's favorite places to draw is in her sketchbook. As of now, I just buy her the $3 sketchbooks at the local drug-store. There's something magical about drawing in a book, especially if it's a special book just for you.
She has a tendency to get lost in her drawing, watching the colors transform the pages. And I understand, because it's a lovely transformation.
Sidenote: These journals make great gifts too. We personalize the cover with the birthday kiddo's name- usually a drawn cover with a piece of contact paper on top- and include a box of something to create with. Thrifty, simple, and a great way to encourage a little person you love to create!
