Experimenting

My daughter and I have been experimenting with some techniques that I'd like to use with the second grade this year. Here are the results (with commentary from Zoë who is 5 years old.)

"This cat's name is Asia and she lives in Africa. She likes to cuddle with her owner and she loves to play with her toys."

"Alaska lives in Asia. She's a flying lion that's crazy. She flies up in the air and she flies to Africa. In Africa she finds dogs to chase and if she finds them, she eats them up."

So if we get a cat while we are here, I guess we have to name it Asia, huh... It warms my heart to see that Zoë is thinking so much about Africa!!

I love the art as well. Beautiful kitty. Did you do the second one or did she? I also really like the yarn/stamp/block. Tell me more about it so I can do it with my two kiddos...if I ever get any time.

Miss you tons.
