My Youngest is Art Journaling

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Aug 2, 2009

My youngest is art journaling now, and I can’t even begin to express how that makes me feel. He was so moved and inspired by the trees we worked on in my art journal the other day, that he asked me if he could have an art journal of his own to work in.

Of course!!!! I put together a kit for him:

• Small sketchbook
• Zipper pouch slightly larger than the sketchbook
• Zipper pouch for short colored pencils
• Zipper pouch for crayons
• Set of mechanical pencils
• Crayon sharpener

The zipper pouches all came together in a set, so I was immediately inspired to use that as the home for his kit. He loves that the pouches are “see-through” and that he can carry everything together easily when we run errands or when he visits my husband’s mother. It’s a perfect little kit for my little guy. The best part for me is, when my other two children ask for a similar kit, it was extremely cheap ($5.00) to put the whole thing together thanks to back to school sales!
