Dress your kicking kiddo, wipe (and rewipe) her hiney, make breakfast, and chug to school on time?
You think you can. You think you can.
For the positive reinforcement you crave, turn to Eye Can Art kits. Created by local moms and educators, the portable containers come filled with everything your mini needs to make top-notch projects with little mess and hassle.
Choose from printmaking, encaustic (wax drawing), Sumi-e (Japanese-style brush painting), and more. Each kit includes an instruction book and enough nontoxic, washable materials to do projects multiple times — all for less than $25.
Consider it a done deal.
