DIY :: Child's Coloring Wallet

especially for the kiddos and just in time for handmade holidays!

 

here's the back story :: during a recent dinner out with friends, our team of little ones shared a few crayons and drew as much as they could on the backs of their placemats. it was lots of fun for everyone, but lasted only about 5 minutes. then it dawned on me that they would be so much more engaged if they had their own little coloring stations filled with just enough supplies to keep them happy for a great while - and even have enough "stuff" to share with a couple friends.  the Child’s Coloring Wallet is home to a set of crayons and a blank memo pad, and has an interior pocket to store their masterpieces.  from now on, i will always keep (at least) one of these in my bag so that we are never again unprepared for a drawing opportunity. i hope you and your littles enjoy them as much as i have enjoyed putting this together!
