A couple of weeks ago I gave Bug some paper and a pencil just to see what she would do. I showed her how the pencil makes lines and squiggles when she puts it on the notepad and she took to it quickly. Now drawing has become a favorite thing of hers to do and crayons have now entered the picture where I am finding them EVERYWHERE - even in the diaper bag. When she has had enough with colouring, crayons have become part of her assorted toys that she plays with. So far she hasn't discovered that she can draw on anything but her notepad and whatever else I have given her, however, I am watching her close - just in case. I am going to show a couple of things that we have been up to lately.
An Art Box
I got this idea off of Pinterest and this is now Bug's art box. It is a box where she can just sit and draw and colour and be. She spends most of her afternoon in this box, even if she isn't drawing she is sitting and playing. I love this idea and I love seeing how more and more colour is getting added to it or more pencil line. Even Bug's friend who isn't quite into drawing yet loves to sit in the box.
Assistant Camera Man
I am slightly joking about this but not really. Every time I bring my camera out, Bug is there waiting for me to let her touch it. I don't let her play with it, but I have let her hold it, touch it and see what it does. She models for me and she loves looking back to see herself in the little screen. I cannot wait until she is old enough to understand that if she sees something she likes, she can take a picture of it.
Playdough
Things We Want To Try:
- Edible slime? Yes please!
- and this paint too!
- This is really cute.
- What a neat idea if you end up with too many drawings etc.
- Even more art projects!
