Cheap-mom-trick #2

I love art, and all things creative.
Lily absolutely loves to draw and paint.

Have you ever seen how much a big roll of colored or even white paper is? No joke, $100+.
Ah, my friends, the trick is to remember your three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle).

Go to your local news paper and ask for their end rolls.
They charge here in Salem $3.50 but it is a LOT of paper.
(pretty sure its free in B-ham)
Hours and hours and hours of fun!

WARNING: you may be asked to draw kitties until your hand cramps.

In our case, it's helicopters and airplanes. Can't draw enough flying transporters.
