I needed to get Briana a new artists portfolio this year and she kept eyeing mine! The problem is I didn't like the ones I was finding(to cheaply made) and I was very unhappy with the prices of the local places. Michael's and Freddies both wanted more than $50 for a poorly made product. I then stumbled upon Oriental Trading Company's art area and found exactly what I wanted at a price I could appreciate!! Their Student Drawing Portfolio Kit is only $29.99 right now and it comes with bag, clip board, rubber band, and large tablet! Briana was very happy with it! and so am I!!
Another thing I have been talking about is our writing presentation book. This one is as close as I have been able to find lately=( But I am still looking as would like a few more. This is another one that is close but nowhere near the $10 I paid for each of mine. They are great for showcasing and storing a child's writing and making them feel special. Every young author dreams of one day being published and this one you can keep updating=)
I had to show you this great reuseable Halloween bag! I love it! It will make a great Trick or Treat bag for years to come! You can find your own at Stubby Pencil Studio. You can also get another favorite of mine there... Smencils!! Yes I love smelly pencils... and kids do too. I often buy mine locally at Kazoodles but Stubby Pencil Studio is an onlie alternative for those who don't have access to our wonderful, locally owned, kid-powered Kazoodles!! Yes it is my all time favorite toy store!!I hope this was some food for thought! I will share more soon!
