I do it because it's something new. Whenever I bust out the art supplies it's usually because I've exhausted all other options. Having 6 kids between 1 and 3 years old is daunting when the weather is poor or they don't want to do anything "constructive", other than wreck my house or fight with each other. They get really excited and I love watching their little faces light up. I'm also a glutton for punishment
