Hands-On Crafts: Doodles and Drawings on Display

Showing Off Your Young Artist’s Masterpieces!

When my husband, Michael, was in preschool, he presented his mother with a large painting of a giraffe. While signing his name, he ran out of room on the paper to fit his large brush strokes on one line so his name was split onto two lines with the letters MIC over the letters HAEL. Proud of her young son’s budding artistic talent, his mother had the picture framed and hung in her home. Over the years, many visitors to her house have remarked on the beautiful, and obviously very expensive, Mic Hael original that she displays.
