My kids like to draw a lot on their own. Sometimes I let them paint, but I have to be close when they do that or the little ones end up painting their hair, the walls and anything else they can reach. Here is a sample of their art projects.
Morgan did this on his own. He just got these two Webkinz. He drew pictures of them from looking at them.
Fiona’s still life
I had Garrett and Fiona paint pictures of a couple of the flowers from our Valentines bouquet, and this is what they came up with.
This is the still life they painted.
Anna painted this when I called on the older kids to come and use up the paint that was left after the twins decorated their binders. I don’t like to waste anything!
These are their lovely binders. They were plain black and blue when they started out. Not any more!
Kelsey drew all of their Webkinz.
Kelsey has created a character named Cherdy, and she writes comic strips about him. He’s a cute little guy. He kind of reminds me of Eve from Wall-E.
Fiona has been busy today. She loves to draw and make things. She made some bunnies and accessories for them today.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
