One of the best artistic canvases you can find for a budding artist is a pair of white canvas shoes. I know I can usually find a pair for my little girl at the big "W" store nearby for just $5. This gives her a relatively inexpensive blank slate to doodle all over and wear to school and show off. If heaven forbid she really messes it up its really not the end of the world because it was so cheap in the first place. Flip Flops crafts are great for this too, at the start of Summer, flip flops are incredibly inexpensive and you can stick all kinds of things on them for decorations. This way you can go to camp, the pool or the beach strutting your stuff with your very own unique look. Nothing gives you that subtle hint of personal style like beading your shoes, adding some flowers or even drawing in the name of your favorite band. Stay cool and be cool
