Scribble, cut & paste
Anya created her own simple little drawing today.
We used:
>> Plastic caps for the flower’s ‘middle part’
>> White paper as the base, crayons, glue, scissors, scotch tapes
>> Crepe paper (for the ‘grass’ bits at the bottom)
We taped the caps to the paper. Then she scribbled and drew the sky and the petals. She then cut strips of the crepe paper and pasted them.
[Throughout the process, our curious little Vai climbed onto his tricycle, stood on the saddle, held onto the dining table and sort of watched what we’re doing and tried to play with whatever stuff that’s near him]
In the end, the ‘flowers’ sort of looked like three sunny-side up eggs (but I kept this opinion to myself. Heh)
Oh well.
Other than wanting her to exercise her scribbling, cutting and pasting skills, Anya herself was pretty happy with what she’s made.
Which of course is an important part of learning too.
