   When it comes to pencils, crayons, and other art supplies, the one seal I look for is 'Made in USA'.
   I wouldn't allow my children or grandchildren to use any art supplies that are 'Made in China' any more than I would allow them to eat sweets or foodproducts that were from China or other third world countries.
    Country of origin labeling is very important product information.

Don't forget how much fun it is to make paper mache creatures and objects with good old newspaper and paste made from wheat flour and water. I agree that making stuff with a little person is the most fun- monitor whilst indulging your own child inside. Don't forget to make time for clean-up, and make that a fun part of your time together. As a mature artist, I still am thankful for whoever it was who encouraged me to wash out my brushes & put the caps back on pens, etc.
What a great birthday present!
