I tend not to buy the special "only works together" stuff because:<BR/><BR/>1- It's more expensive, and I'd rather spend my art budget on real art supplies<BR/><BR/>2- I want my kids to learn the "real" effects of their experimental strokes...when the marker goes off the page, it <I>will</I> leave a mark!<BR/><BR/>We just use basic supplies in the car: paper and crayons. And if my kids arrive somewhere looking like a Picasso canvas, that's what childhood is all about!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476636154469326229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760977628999825683.post-80998257357341764032008-09-12T12:01:00.000-04:002008-09-12T12:01:00.000-04:00Art isn't as much fun if it isn't messy! lol Not...Art isn't as much fun if it isn't messy! lol Not to mention, artists are generally messier people.

At the art table, they wear clothes that can get messy!<BR/><BR/>There is a time and a place for those mess free art supplies - like church or the car :)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888825322479282584noreply@blogger.com
