This week we spent a lot of time painting! And drawing. I was especially impressed by this face that Johnny drew all by himself:
Actually, I think he drew it two weeks ago. A couple of these pictures maybe should have been in last week’s post. Either way, I love how expressive it is, and the detail of the cheeks, eyebrows, and smile lines!
Mike delighted the kids with this banana snowman snack depicting our family! He cut up jelly beans to make the eyes and mouths.
Teddy bears were dressed in crowns made by Emma to celebrate Johnny’s birthday – green crowns, since that is Johnny’s favorite color!
And Lily enjoyed her favorite craft to date: sticking stickers onto paper. Surprisingly, this kept her occupied for a full 45 minutes!
How was your week? Link up afterschooling activities – Little Wonders’ Days is hosting this week!
MaryAnne is a craft loving educator, musician, photographer, and writer who lives in Silicon Valley with her husband Mike and their four children.
Sweet creative fun. You get such a kick out of finding a drawing like Johnny’s where there is the most adorable detail. Such a precious drawing.
Emma’s green crowns to help celebrate Johnny’s birthday was such a lovely idea. What a special way to add to the festivities.
Lily looks so happy with her sticker activity.
That is a truly impressive smiling sun from Johnny! The snowman family is a cute idea and resulted in a VERY cute photo!! :) Michael would love it if I let my kids paint indoors because that would mean we could paint more often.
Hello Maryanne, It has been too long! Hope you are enjoying this time of year with the kids.
You have such a JOY filled home!
i love it!
That face is SO expressive! I love her.
We got our teddy bear and she is SO cute!
Yay! Glad she came so quickly!!!
I love your week – it sounds very relaxed. All your kids are very creative!
That is TOO cute that she dressed up those bears in green crowns. Love it!
