The Huntigton Library

The boys will be on Spring break this coming week and I'm trying to figure out some fun things to do with them. Today we went to Travel town and that's always fun, boys love trains! We will probably take one day and go the beach and maybe to the LA Zoo.
I have never taken them to The Huntington Library, I think they are old enough to enjoy the amazing art galleries, botanical gardens and library, plus they are having some very interesting exhibitions right now. I really want to see John Frame's sculpture showcase. His art is very unique, the video below shows some of his new works.

Friday Finds: P'Kolino Playful Art Set

I like to encourage my kids' interest in art, they love coloring, drawing, painting, you name it.
I don't like messes and even though I know we have at least 7 sets of crayons in their coloring drawer, half of them are broken and we can't find orange!
So, I bough these sets at Babyage.com:

P'kolino Playful Art Set

For $16 they each have a set now. Each set has 12 markers, 12 triangle crayons and 16 hexagon colored pencils. The pencils are 100% color, no wood, but it doesn't color their hands. The quality is amazing, I also noticed that their shape makes them easier to hold and my favorite: they all fit neatly in the little stand.

The boys loved them, they really like the cool shapes and that there's no wood. I like that now they have all their colors neatly in a little stand and there will be no more looking for orange!

I'm always looking for art supplies, do you have any art supplies you and/or your children love?
