Tangled

Sydney loves the latest Disney movie, Tangled. She talks constantly about drawing the floating lanterns on the wall just like Rapunzel does. A while back we painted easel paper blue for the night sky and were going to paint yellow lanterns on it, but when the blue paint dried, it cracked the paper so much we had to throw it away. This time I put clean easel paper on her wall in her bedroom and then put a star border around the paper. Sydney used crayons this time to draw Rapunzel, her loooong hair, lanterns, fireworks, etc. She had a blast doing it!

Painting at the Easel

Today I drew a large egg on easel paper for Sydney and Maddie to paint. They each had a turn to paint their own egg. This was Maddie's first time painting at the easel, we usually paint at the dining table, and she LOVED it. After she was done painting I helped her wash her hands. When I took her picture into the kitchen to dry she went back to the easel and started painting the board! I quickly put a sheet of white paper and let her have at it. I didn't think I could leave her to get the camera but I'm so glad I did!!

Sydney's is left, Maddie's is right

Maddie and her "phone"

I have a $3 calculator from Staples that Maddie has adopted as her personal cell phone. Here is a video of her chatting away...
