What Do You Want to Make Today?
Little kids make a lot of art. Which is great. It’s fun to see them try out new things, and to go from random scribbles to lines (my girl loves lines) and circles and, eventually, to drawings and paintings that look like things we can recognize. But we obviously can’t keep all of it. That […]
