The Christmas morning scene is the same in households the world over. The presents have been opened and the family dog is happily making confetti out of the gift wrap, Mom is thinking about brunch, knowing that her brood will be bored after the novelty of the new toys wears off and all of Aunt Minnie’s knitted sweaters have been tried on for size.
No better time to encourage the small fry to try out their artistic hand with the crayons and paintboxes and art supplies thoughtfully tucked into their Christmas stockings.
There is no doubt that kids and crayons bring peace to the adults, but this Christmas could be the one when some children go to bed after the Big Day with visions of more than sugar plums dancing in their heads.
