Art Box

Our darling friend Luke turned five today. His Mama said he likes to draw, so we made up an art box for him:

I got a photo storage box from Joann.

And filled the box with art materials.

I personalized an awesome image I found & had saved for a rainy day, & printed it onto card stock.

All the different markers, pencils, crayons, paint sticks & watercolor pencils went into little pouches made from cheerful fabrics & backed with felt.

Yup, still refusing to iron.

Another view of the wrinkles.

The crayons & brushes went into a little tin bucket.

I hope hope hope he likes it. It's always hard to not choose the cool toy of the month. But I figure even if he hates it now (like Dash almost always does when I try to make him something) eventually he'll come to see the awesomeness of having something totally unique and made with love.
