Budding Talent

This is Bella's very first drawing. It is less impressive after scanning, you may have to take my word for it.

The crayons she used are a new product called Tadoodles Crayon Buddies:

We love them! They are a must for all 12 month olds. The first set is for 12 months. There is one pack coming with 3 colors. Next there is a pack for 18 months. There are 2 or 3 packs coming in different colors. Bella can hold these crayons and color independently. The only flaw is there is no consistency between the outside of the "Buddy" and the color of the crayon. In other words the yellow "Buddy" is not the yellow crayon, it is red. Although there is a red rim on the red crayon. I actually wrote Crayola to ask about this, but only received a form letter (e-mail) back. At this stage I am not teaching her color names, but do wonder if it may cause confusion in the future.

If you would like a Bella original to hang on your fridge, it can be arranged!
