I wanted to occupy the kids without making a huge mess. I thought it would "take my mind off things" to make some Easter decorations.
I was super excited to try out my owl paper punch. Isaac and I used the owl punch to decorate paper we cut into an egg shape. It worked out really well. Here's a tip: don't store your washable and permanent markers together if you're going to let the toddler color. She was happy with the pile of markers I gave her for a while, but soon she was pulling the box to her side of the table and trying to uncap Sharpies. Good thing the lids were on tight and she grunts when something's hard to do. I think her picture came out lovely.

Close up
Am I a bad mother for taking a close-up of my own? I really liked how it came out. I know I should have drawn some birds if I was gonna write twitterpated but you can clearly see the extent of my artistic ability.

Birds flying look like shallow "W's." You could make some of those. On another subject... I used to tell kindergarteners that "W" should be pronounced "wubble yoo" and "Y" should be "Yie!" English is so user-unfriendly.
ReplyDeleteNo wait... maybe shallow "M's?" Gotta go draw now and see.
