My favorite activity when I was little was coloring. All of my coloring books would fill up in no time, and I never got tired of filling in those lines. What did get tired, however, were my markers and my paper. Sometimes I would reach for a marker, so excited to use my favorite pink or blue, and find it nearly dried out. Other times, I would be coloring away only to rip through the over-saturated pages of my coloring books. In a child's mind, these are tragedies, and if I had had an ALEX Toys Color a Canvas, far fewer tears would have been shed over ruined books.

These kits come with a 9"x9" preprinted canvas board and six washable markers in various colors. These are perfect because the canvas has thick lines, ensuring less accidental mistakes during coloring. This box is also great for travel! Bring your child's art project with you on the road without worrying about markers getting lost or coloring books crumpling in the bottom of your bag. With this sturdy design, your child will be able to create art anytime, anywhere.

My favorite part about this is that the canvas can be hung like a painting. Put your little one's artwork up in a bedroom or living room and watch the biggest smile you have ever seen light up the room. If you show that you are proud of your child's work, it will promote learning, understanding, and creativity down the road.
