Instagram post 2192609547494141607_1385905734 We had fun this week using our new Magic Stix from @kwikstixpaint!
πŸ™Œ
We used the new triangular markers to decorate clothespins which will hold all of the holiday cards we receive!
❀
I love these makers because:
☝️ They won't dry out if left uncapped for 7 days so you can stop worrying about that!
✌ The new triangular shape won't roll off the table and will help with grip! (We'll work on that toddler grip soon enough) πŸ˜‰
