A couple of things we've been doing out of, Things to Make and Do for Christmas by Ellen Weiss
Pinwheel Wreaths
These cut out paper guys in the book were "Dancing Santa Ornaments" but Sylvia made a Gingerbread man...
...and a cat.
Luke made a "Dancing Ninja Ornament."
We go through a lot of paper in our house. I'll often find all four of our kids at the table drawing pictures. I encourage this because my favorite thing to do as a child was to draw whatever I wanted. I love how each of my children are developing their own style. Today I wanted to show Isabel's cute style. I love the pink cheeks and how she includes names and ages. Oh and she draws the most beautiful dresses.
This morning I was reading Fairly Happy's blog and decided to copy her idea of having my children write down ten things they like about themselves. In case you can't read Luke's "special" writting...
1. I like to read. 2. I like arthropods. 3. I like to draw. 4. I like my appearance. 5. I like my family. 6. I like my friends. 7. I like the color of my eyes. 8. I like my long hair. 9. I like my imagination. 10. I like my home.
Once again, in case you can't read Isabel's special fancy writing...
1. I have green eyes. 2. I have brown hair. 3. My birthday is April 6th. 4. I have two sisters and one brother. 5. I'm not allergic to anything. 6. I'm organized. 7. I love math. 8. I'm good at memorizing things. 9. I fly in a lot of my dreams. 10. I have a great family.
Sylvia drew a picture of what she liked about herself. She explained to me that it is her imagination and in this picture she is imagining huge mushrooms.
