Favorite Project

Simon has been busily projecting away. He is in his 2nd year of preschool and has become interested in fine motor activities at the table. Finally, a little artist! It just wasn't his thing. We have a large pad of a Santa/Christmas version of "Where's Waldo" search and finds. The paper is thick, large, and of good quality. Perfect for tipping over, adding a line drawing, and letting him choose crayons, markers, or watercolors. He loves watercolors. LOVES THEM. He was shown how to trace with paint only a small section of the outside and one divider line on the candy cane. The only other request I made was for him to paint his name, something I've never seen him do before and look at that perfection! He likes things "multi-colored", and this is what he created.

This is frame-worthy. Right now it is taped on our upper cabinets. Along with a watercolored present and Christmas tree.
