Giant art

My child loves to paint. At age 3 a coloring book page or 8 1/2 by 11 paper doesn't give much room to unleash creatively. But the giant papers at the art store don't come cheaply.

The other day I purchased a glass vase and the cashier thoroughly wrapped for me in very large papers. The six papers wrapped around the outside of the vase weren't not even wrinkled on the short trip home, so I took them with off, smoothed them out, and gave her some stamps paintbrushes and Crayola washable paints. 

Voilà! Instant giant canvas!
