Yes, we can all agree that framing prints + posters is a hassle. Where to start? Where to go? Not to mention that framing is often expensive.

Enough already! Binth's Alphabet, Numbers and single ABC prints are now available..... framed. How thoughtful!

A round of applause for Binth! 

Summertime is in full swing! Long days, endless popsicles. Big imaginations. A lot of everything + nothing to do.

My son Eliot asked to paint. One thing led to another, and soon he was driving his cars through the paint. And then, "Mama, can I paint my cars?" ...kids have such vibrant imaginations, that to him, painting his cars made perfect sense. "Sure!" 

Painting cars added a whole new dimension to Eliot's play. He was able to experience his world in a whole new way. Certainly more about the process than the product!

project :: painting toys

supplies:
washable, non-toxic paint
paint brushes
water + container -- i re-use containers (above, right) ... recycle when you're done! no clean-up.
toys -- just make sure your kid knows that the paint probably wont come off -- we don't want any tears!
paper -- the bigger, the the better. newsprint (recycled!) would also work well.
drop-cloth -- an old sheet works well.

process:
Have a happy attitude, big imagination + have fun! Paint the car's wheels and make them zoom across the paper. Paint dolly's feet and she will dance! Fun prints could be made with the marks of the toys -- but really.... painting and playing is enough on it's own.
