I bought my toddler a pack of 4x6 cards (cheap and can be found anywhere!) I prefer to buy the "plain" ones, but lined ones work too. I can keep some of these handy in my purse, her tote bag, or above the fridge for any "bored" moment, I am able to give her a few pieces of it, and crayons (or pens) and let her do art to her hearts content. Then, I convert these into "postcards" to send to friends and relatives. The size is perfect, and it is very easy to draw a line down the backside, and address as a normal postcard--postage is the same too! RinEff
I think that is an absuletly lovely idea!!! I went out and bought my 5 year old some little blank postcards and had her draw on them when she got bored,and she just loved it! It also made the people we sent them to very happy! :)
