YES! MINE! I MUST WIN THIS!
If not I must get this pattern. My 3.5 year old daughter LOVES art. I actually just bought her a good quality sketchbook and handed over my Prismacolor pencils, with the stipulation that she treat them well. I explained to my hubby that even if I have to buy a new set every year, it's worth it. I'm thinking of getting her some really nice paints and such as well.

This is adorable! And might keep my six year old artist organized. He was stressing the other day about not knowing what he wants to be when he grows up (at 6!).

In fact, the other day my 3 year old hurt himself and was crying. When the 6 year old tried to help him, he was rebuffed. Undeterred, he patted my 3 year old and said, "You should let me help. I may be a doctor someday."

Not sure I should push artist over doctor, but an artistic doctor never hurt anyone, right?
