Artist In Training

I thought I would show you the results of our art session today. I know I have been way more personal than usual this week. Perhaps that is because my husband is not here, and I have a deep-seated need to share with someone. Or, maybe I felt like I could at least have a one-sided adult conversation since I am at home with a beagle and a 2 year-old for the week. Frankly, we just had so much fun that I wanted to share it even if no one wanted to see it!

Regardless of the reasons, here are photos of my budding artist's work.


This first one is all Avari. She had to use every colored pencil and every marker. Then we got into buttons, sequins, etc. Oh, and Avari cut out two of the flowers that we pasted on the page (with a little help). She really had fun.


Of course, this second picture was a joint effort. I wasn't really sure if she was going to take part at first. I drew the picture and started showing her how to glue the macaroni to it. She was more interested in eating the raw spaghetti noodles than gluing them down. Before it was all over, she was having a blast. We did all the gluing before nap time. Then we colored the picture (including the noodles) with markers later in the day. As a result, we have a great surprise for her daddy when he gets back from the mission trip to New Orleans.

So, what value is this to you? Well, if you know us, then I'm just sharing with friends. If you stumbled upon this post and you don't know us from Adam, then perhaps you found a fun project to do with your kids!

Blessings!
