Outside Influences

She wants to play drums "like Cameron."








She wants her ballerina positions to look like "Mrs. Melanie."








She wants to lead worship like "Mrs. Jackie."








Someone is influencing each of our children from the outside. They are always observing those they are around.

Who is influencing your children day to day and week to week?

I Can Draw Animals....summer fun for your child!

a BOOK REVIEW to help you....

Much like I Can Draw People, this book gives 32 pages of techniques for drawing the following animals: lion, rabbit, fish, turtle, cat, hen, monkey, flamingo, dolphin, teddy bear, frog, reindeer, lizard, tiger, horse, and bee. I especially like the way they expand the animal concept. I think it helps this book reach a variety of art abilities. It gives numbered step-by-step directions that include simple explanations for each step. The explanations add another level of complexity for children who desire it; however, it doesn't complicate the simplicity of each step.

Another nice feature of this drawing book is the additional surroundings it encourages your child to draw, once the steps are complete. For example, the completed flamingo stands in a ripple of water, another page shows 3 different ways to position the bear, using the same lines- and puts him on the branch of a tree!

So, pull up a chair, learn to draw WITH your child and have fun laughing at the silly pictures you create together! Before you know it, they won't really need your help. They'll know exactly how they want to make their own picture....but maybe they'll still want your company ;)

Recommended for ages 3 years and up (although my 6 year old likes it....and she shows great signs of her daddy's art ability!)
