I was thinking about her this evening…about what I would get her for Christmas (yes I’m already thinking about it) and it’s hard to find things these days that mean anything.  Something that they can learn to appreciate and hopefully expand their horizons.  Anyways, I was browsing the new members at the Mom Bloggers Club (where I’m very active), when I came across this gal that does artwork.  These designs are beautiful and I thought what a neat idea for my niece.  I could get her a piece of artwork Christmas, birthdays, or just because and she could collect them and hopefully find a new appreciation for art. 

Here’s a sample of what rkdsign88 has to offer:

So, do you think a child would learn to love and appreciate something besides a toy?  Not that my niece doesn’t….speaking in general about all kids.  I’d like to hear what you think.  Have you ever bought your child something that turned into a hobby?  Maybe artwork like this, or coins, or even hot wheels that stay in the package.  Tell me about it!
