Art supply box

For Andrew’s fourth birthday, Bryan’s mom made him a special box filled with great art supplies.  It’s compact, but it contains about any fun art supply you can think of.  And Andrew loves it because it’s special for him.

Last week, I did a by-pass surgery on our ailing art supply drawer.  We have a large buffet drawer filled with art supplies, but it’s been dumped out and pawed through so many times that any order or reason have fled and left chaos in their wake.  Simply put, you could hardly open or close it.  So I cleaned it out and re-organized it, and in the process, I also did a little re-organizing of Andrew’s art box.

Since then, he’s been just smitten with his art projects.  It’s funny how when you pull out a toy and shine it up a bit that it can take on such a new life.  Andrew’s been enjoying his art box more than ever, and I can often find him (in his room with the door closed for privacy) working hard on stencils or collages or pipe-cleaner creations.

Granny, thanks so much for such a great present.  Your boy sure is enjoying it!
