I'm 2 years old and proudly sitting down to draw for the first time. I have my jumbo crayons and my brand new sketch pad from Melissa and Doug® in front of me. Let the creativity begin! What's even better is that the pad is spiral bound so it will lay flat while I work and my mommy can keep all my drawings in one place for safe-keeping. The medium weight paper has a slight texture, so I can also use my other drawing tools like colored pencils, chalk pastels, and markers. I might even place some stickers in my sketch pad too, since it has 50 sheets and plenty of room to create! Made in USA.
