The Holidays, Naturally!!

When fans email about the new products they want to see from us, we pay attention. We have had requests for some sort of "play" dough and we were hesitant at first because there really so many great products out there and what could we do that would be unique and follow all of the standards that we keep at Wee Can Too®. Therefore, we came up with a wheat free, dairy free, preservative and chemical free dough that we like to call, "Veggie Dough". Like all of our products, we are keeping chemical colors out of the equation! Add a little cinnamon essential oils, and throw in some mica pigments for some sparkle and you have a great "play" dough that everyone can have fun with this season!

We are testing out the market and offering this for the Holiday season in a special art kit which comes with Veggie Tempera and Veggie Crayons as well. These will be added to our website soon www.weecantooart.com and they make GREAT gifts, just in time for the Holidays. We offer the red and green kit along with a fun blue and yellow kit as well depending on your celebratory preference. Happy Holidays!!

Safely Facepainting!!

Facepaints!

My dear children are such sports when it comes to their mama being a mad scientist of art supplies. I have become successful with developing facepaints as an alternative to many products on the market that come from unreliable resources and can be quite bad. Some facepaints, even marked "non-toxic" can have lead in them, and being applied to the face in copious amounts never made me feel at ease. Our facepaints are made with the same organic ingredients including fruit and vegetable powders for color, which could actually be good for the skin! My daughter started painting her brother's arm at one point and I felt just fine about that!

If you choose to purchase these from our online store, keep in mind that instead of mixing them all at one time, I recommend using just enough powder as you want for application at that time. If you use moderately like this, you will have paints for next year as well! Another perk: You won't be scrubbing the paints off and chaffing your child's skin at the same time, all while explaining to teachers why your child still has whiskers the next day at school. Our paints wipe off with ease and don't leave stains. You can purchase our wonderfully natural products at: www.weecantooart.com If you are in the UK, we will be expanding our availability overseas very soon! That website will be: www.weecantooart.uk.com "Art From The Start!"

Which Natural Paint To Use

Wee Can Too is growing and everyday we have new products for our customers to try, plus the abundance of natural art supplies on the market and you might be asking yourself, "Which one do I buy? Which one is right for my child?". We created our finger paints in 2007, with not just babies and toddlers in mind, but infants as well. "If they can eat they can paint!" is our motto, because we make our finger paints with not just all natural and organic ingredients, but actual baby diet geared ingredients. We take into account that babies cannot have wheat, dairy...and most importantly, preservatives and chemicals. Our finger paints are really the safest art supply on the market for babies and we are proud to say it. The main ingredient in the our original finger paints is baby rice cereal! Parents can feel at ease about what might go into their baby's mouths...toes, hands, whatever! Once your baby is over a year old, you might feel more comfortable with them swallowing other natural ingredients and less picky about their strict diets. At that time, other natural art products are probably just fine for your little one, including our brand new "Nature's Paint", natural tempera paint, and yes, edible in the Wee Can Too family of edible products.

We have an array of great products that are safe, natural and fun! We are moms and we care like moms. Check us out: www.weecantooart.com! As always, THANK YOU to our passionate, wonderful customers (who sent this great photo by the way (above)- thanks Bennett family!)

Why Baby Finger Paints?

One thing I have notice since founding in this company in 2007 and bringing art to the baby world is how much doubt parent's have that their baby even wants to paint. Well, I am pleased to tell you, they do! :) After many letters, photos and testimonials from parents, I am starting to see a pattern. We have been to demos and trade shows where parents are confused at first. Baby paints? What would a baby do with paints? Well, first and foremost, they would eat it! And that's okay with us...
But then something happens. The infant will become amazingly focused as they watch the colors spread across the page...in awe. As if to say, "Wow! Did I just make that happen?"...and then they repeat and they really get into it! Both of my children painted for hours when they were babies. I would put the paint brushes in the bath with them and let them paint the sides of the tub. My children still paint. My son cries when I put the paint away. Well, this year both of my kids are in pre-school. I am happy to say they are still artists, loving the colors swirl and make patterns across the page. Tempura paints are vibrant and wonderful! And I am happy to say that I had a hand in their creative development. And also, can safely say, they do not try to eat the paint at school. :) Happy painting little artists...Wee Can Too
