My daughters (3 and 5) are in an art show (a homeschool, openended affair...best kind! :o) on Friday and I have the same feeling that you described about a proper canvas - this is a great way to give them the benefit of a great work surface with the ability to do it over and over and over.

I am always stuck as to how to display so much art...and am with you in thinking that real canvasses create pressure and purchasing frames is too costly. My three kids are home today because the buses were cancelled due to freezing rain. Now I have a project to keep us all busy!!

I feel and would have felt the same way. I almost bought some canvases recently but could not bring myself to do it. And yours turned out so nicely! We have so much cardboard I can see myself exploring this soon. I love the word, bairn, btw. The only other place I remember hearing it is in the girl scout story at the end of our guidebook that we acted out and was the only speaking part (and mine!). "I told you, bairns are a blessing." Makes me smile to remember.Heather Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352660932527186270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-56993502182566287792011-11-12T16:18:15.327-08:002011-11-12T16:18:15.327-08:00Oh, I love them.
