Oil Pastel Art
A few months ago, I picked up a pack of Crayola Oil Pastels from the clearance section of Office Depot, and Emily enjoys drawing with these much more than regular crayons. She made a comment today about how the oil pastels are easier to mix colors with than crayons. In any case, if she will draw with it, I’m all for it.
Earlier today, she did a comparison drawing of the same tree in the Winter and in the Summer. Sometimes she creates this whole other world with her drawings, and this time there was a cat stuck in the Summer tree. The cat was crying and carrying on, and shedding big blue tears, which ended up making a big puddle of blue water by the trunk of the tree. That poor cat was really upset until she finally caved in and drew a ladder for him.
Ah…. kids have the most vivid imaginations, don’t they?
