All Sorts of Creative

For our home evening activity this week, we made crayon rubbings of autumn leaves I collected.


It was interesting to see how different family members approached the project.  I made dark smudges, Phillip and Joy used a lighter hand, and Daniel just wanted to draw his own balloon-shaped leaves.


The kids had distinctive ways of signing their artwork, too.  Daniel did a Picasso-ish montage of the letters in his name . . .


. . . and Joy signed three times--first lower case, then upper case, then doodle case.


I hung all four pictures on our door afterward (along with a couple of Daniel's preschool art projects). 


Speaking of creativity, today Joy used an app to make digital drawing of apple trees and blueberry bushes under a starry sky.


And hey, why wait until Halloween to wear costumes when you can dress up your little sister any time you want to?
