Lately, Bridget has really been interested in all kinds of art projects. She loves to draw (pens, pencils, crayons, markers, highlighters) and she LOVES to paint (watercolors, acrylic). I recently purchased some foam stickers for her – which she has really gotten in to. We’ve also tried child scissors and glue sticks lately. She gets […]
