Princess - 001

 

All of Zoë’s drawings lately are about princesses, flowers, cupcakes, butterflies, and all things pretty.  This one here is of a princess.  You could tell she’s a princess because she wears a crown.  The little green things near her neck are her “humps”;  I’d thought they were fairy wings.  When I asked her what those humps are for, Zoë said, “You know, those things on the shoulders of the dresses?” (The puffy little bell sleeves!)  For some reason, there’s a spotlight on the princess… and there is a “frog” on the roof of the house.

Art… by Josh

It seems quite a while now since Josh made a drawing that’s not Star Wars-related, not battle-related.  It’s almost like he’s lost interest in drawing anything else.  So it was a very pleasant surprise that he came and showed me this:

This is supposed to a drawing of an elephant in the plains of Africa.  But of course, there’s a boatman there, too. Hmmm…  I asked Josh where the elephant’s ears are.  He said they’re invisible.  Also, the trunk is not long enough because he ran out of room on the paper.

Butterfly

 

Josh made this butterfly all by himself. He drew the butterfly, cut it out, decorated it.  He was inspired by the butterfly that Zoë brought home from school one day. {If I could find where it is, I will scan that one, too.  After seeing Josh decorate his with glitter glue, she decided to put some on her butterfly, too, and it came out really pretty!}

Mommy & Me by Zoë

 

Zoë came home from school today and excitedly pulled this out of her bag and said, “Mommy, I made this for you!”  She then proceeded to point out to me which each person is.  She said that she made a rainbow over my head and that the words spell I love you.  (And she almost got it right –I L-V U!)

Totally made my day.

Paper Plate Face

 

Zoë was invited to an art jammin’ party last week and here she is with her friend, K, making paper plate faces.   The party was held at an art studio downtown and they had two small crafts table out for the younger kids.  They had googly eyes, pipe cleaners, glitter glue, popsicle sticks, foam stickers, etc. –dream supplies for the little ones.  Zoë didn’t want to leave the crafts table to join any of the games!

 

She needed help with getting the pipe cleaner in place, but did everything else herself.  Ta da!
