The girls' weekly ballet class is right next to a toy store. We often stop there after class, and M usually hounds me to buy her something (A too, but to a much lesser extent). The last time we were there, M got me to buy her these dot paints. I figured they would go into the cabinet, unused, but she ended up using them the next day and created these masterpieces. I love them! So worth the hounding and the money.
