Butterflies Part I

 We started studying butterflies and caterpillars.
But before we got our live caterpillars, we looked at some books from the Library and borrowed.
We read about them.  I showed her pictures on line.
We even found some outside one day and held them.
One afternoon we drew and painted some butterflies.  It was also a great chance to talk about God being the Creator.
Here are our paintings....

I drew the butterfly and told her that we were doing to create our own butterflies like God does!

So I showed her how I could make any shape I wanted inside the wings.  Then she did the next one.  

I love that she put ears on her butterfly....

Trash = Art

When Ella Reese was little, like maybe around 20 months, I did not have really any "craft" supplies for her.  So I started just looking around my house.  And what is around my house? A trash can full of possibilities.
I started digging in my recycle bin and made tons of little art projects with her.
My very first one I did with her ( which I still have to this day) was a little Aquarium we made.
