Jul. 16, 2008 - Art Project for the Week
This week has been a "clean" art week. :)
The kids got a freebie stained glass art coloring book from their Mimi and all 4 of the big kids helped color. Austin showed the most passion in his coloring, Sam enjoyed coloring his until the neighbor came over, and the girls loved choosing the princess pictures. Rachel would have loved to eat color with the crayons too but Mommy just said no. :)
This is also the first time I have seen Lily show some desire to color in the lines and to color with purpose. You know how toddlers and preschoolers pay no attention to the dark black lines in the coloring books. Well Lily may be heading over to the other side. She is showing such maturity these days as well. She no longer dunks full toilet paper rolls in the toilet, paints the baby in pudding, pees on the floor at will, or gets in our bed in the middle of the night. OK, so she still climbs in our bed so she can snuggle up to her daddy's back . . . . every night.
Maybe next week we will get the paint back out or maybe a paper maché project. I do know that we will be exploring a whole new world using the new microscope I bought for our science curriculum.
Here is the one I bought.
