Kick your little one's scribbles up a notch with animal templates from Sarah Jane Studios. Let your newly minted one-year-old go to town on blank pieces of paper with crayons or paint, then use the templates to mask out the best parts. Pop the finished products in frames and ta-da! Instant art gallery. Sweet in a nursery but sophisticated enough for the rest of your home, too.
