Kid Art

Here are some recent art projects completed by the boys.

Colin's art is simpler, but no less adorable.

Here is a painting he brought home from school this week.

Colin's cutting face. He has been working with scissors lately, and gotten much better. Now he can cut all the way across the paper all by himself!

What he did with scissors last week...

Compared to this week! Unfortunately this coincided with Valentine's Day. So all the Valentine's he made for friends were small scraps of paper. We struggled to get him to even draw on the paper hearts we had cut out.

Here is Kevin's recent art:

About 2 months ago, Kevin's class had different materials out for art projects. All the other kids just glued down straws and toothpicks and scraps of paper. Our kid made a fire truck. All by himself. They weren't told to make a truck. (We were told that he did have help making the wheels.)

At the coffee table creating. It is a nightly thing in our house!

Last week he started tracing his train and adding coaches to the back. He told me his have seats on the top and the bottom, so he drew windows for the seats. He started adding faces in the windows, which you can see in the bottom two trains.

When we told the boys we were going to make Valentine's for friends, Kevin just started making these. They are drawings of pumpkins.

Wednesday, Kevin brought home this. It is a map to get from daycare (bottom left) to home (bottom right). The stripes at the top are the bridge by our house, and the river is the blue line below it. At the top is an orange airplane in the blue clouds. We pass two airports on the way home. He told daddy to use it to get home.
