The personalized art box seen above is great for doodling and drawing. The front portion can serve as a chalk board, and flips to turn into a dry erase board. Meanwhile, the box opens up for storage of crayons and paper. It has a handle to make it easy to tote around everywhere. Click behind the fold to check out the inside of the box.

The fabulous art boxes are available from GDFunktionals' Etsy Shop. Click over to check them out.

Fresh Ink: Droolicious meets Doodlelicious

SunnyChanel — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:01:00 GMT

Before your artistically inclined child learns to apply indelible pen to a freshly painted wall, school them in the art of graffiti while they are straight chillin’ in the cradle. Your boo will kick it old school while cocooned in this Doodles Infant Reversible Car Cover by Kids Ink.

If you feel that perhaps you are inspiring your child to transform your walls to resemble an inner city alley, then just flip the Doodles over for a less visually stimulating but cozy “minky” material. It’s off the hook y’all. Now go hide your sharpies and spray cans. $132 from Kids Ink.

Taro Gomi's Squiggles: The Book It's Okay to Deface

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:02:00 GMT

With Scribbles and Doodles, both of which allow kids to do exactly that across the spare, open-ended designs throughout their pages, Everyone Poops creator Taro Gomi has already delivered two of the most wonderful coloring books in recent memory. Now, with the inch-thick Squiggles: A Really Giant Drawing and Painting Book ($18.95), Gomi adds even sturdier pages that allow kids to paint, as well as draw, to their imaginations' content.

As before, Gomi's thick, childlike lines start each page with the most basic of embellishments, and kids are free to add to the drawings however they like. The minimalist instructions on certain pages further invite kids to use their imaginations, with text ranging from the specific ("Let's paint what's in the sea. Start with lots of fish.") to the Zen-like and abstract ("The mountains are getting higher and higher..."). And while the book's appeal to wee ones is obvious, Squiggles makes a wonderful gift for anyone, artist or otherwise, whose creativity could benefit from a little playtime.
