Easter is quickly approaching, and I've been secretly brain-storming Easter projects I can do with the little dude. I'm sure he'd have a blast just painting eggs, but I wanted to find something else to do too. We've ordered him an Easter basket for his egg hunts this year (he used his Halloween candy basket for last year's and it seemed a little odd). Last year we used finger prints to make art work with a buddy, so what should we do this year? Here are some of our favorite ideas:

I had fun drawing our new FaceBook cover photo with our new stylus! I hope you like it as much as I do :) Thank you so much for the many compliments on my humble artwork. I am no artist, trust me! I just enjoy picking up a drawing pen once in a while, but I am so flattered by all your sweet comments.

It's been raining on and off here in NorCal, and we've been staying home more than usual and I was starting to worry that the little guy was getting too bored. So yesterday we decided to go outside and collect fall leaves to make some art. S had so much fun trying to find the perfect leaves, and we found some fun ones, great for making our under-the-sea picture! We especially liked the little scale-like leaves for our fish! 

Looks like we're going to have to get one of these for our next vacation! I'm excited about packing the little guy's back pack for the long flight this year. He's learning so many new things and he's been tackling new challenges like tracing letters and numbers. He's still big on drawing and coloring too, so these artist travel sets by P'kolino will sure come in handy! I like that everything is packed in one area, and I have a feeling he will too!

Kids like to doodle, and the bigger the space, the less chances for accidental scribblings (on the wall, floor...etc.). And if the doodle space entertains the little ones and looks cute on the wall, then double hurray! These vinyl chalk stickers are perfect for little ones, especially when you're not sure if you want to paint a whole wall with chalk-paint. They're big enough for random doodling and come in adorable designs.
