W is for Warthog

Warthog

Today, we used Artsy Animals Learn to Read, and then I decided that since"watercolor" also starts with 'W', we would do some watercolors. I bought a book at the discount store named Painting with Pencils which details fun projects using watercolor pencils. I (luckily) was in the right place at the right time last year at Sams Club after Christmas, and got a set of watercolor pencils on the clearance rack for dirt cheap. Hence, I didn't cry if a pencil or two got misused. Plus...can you really MISUSE art supplies, if you are just trying to be creative with them?

Below are the art projects the kids finished, as well as their attempts at drawing a warthog.


In math, we are still studying the number 2, trying to form it well on paper. It's not an easy number to write.

Zach's warthog. Chayce didn't want to. She was busy finding the purple crayons. ;)






















Zach's sledder & mitten. The sledder is supposed to look like he's going downhill, hence the smear.













Below is Chayce's sledder and mitten. I think they both did a great job, considering that it was their first time with water color pencils. We'll have to do projects like this again.
