JL & Minnie
Hello there, this is Jeanne Bleu, creative director for Manhattan Toy. I am working from home along with the rest of my team to keep our new toy projects moving along!
My pre-pandemic life was one of quiet solitude, dreamy weekends lost in books, music, walks, (too much social media) - but this is a new level of solitude!
My daughter lives on the east coast and is also working from home - or trying to! With two little ones - ages 5 and 10 months, her challenges are possibly less philosophical; more keeping everyone safe, clean, fed and entertained!
As a fun way to stay connected, my grandson JL and I (he calls me Minnie) are taking turns choosing a subject, then sharing our art via FaceTime.
If you want to play too, we'll be sharing a new drawing suggestion in our Instagram stories starting March 27. Share your child's creations using #myminniedrawing and yours may be re-shared!
