On a road trip, we stopped to eat at the Bayside Restaurant in Westport, MA. and I was thrilled to see this literacy area for children. Many restaurants provide crayons and a pre-drawn image for little ones, but the Bayside offered children the opportunity to draw freely, illustrate and caption a picture, a place to post creations, and a wonderful choice of books to read. Maybe this idea will catch on. Spread the word!
