Quite awhile ago I found a cute little book about doodling a farm. It was similar in style to the Ed Emberley drawing books that I LOVE so for its cheap thrift store price bought it. I learned to doodle a cute rooster. But nobody else showed any interest. So I put it away. Yesterday I found it. I've found that what works around here is that if I just leave things set out and a child stumbles upon it on his/her own it's more successful than when I make a grand proclamation that I have something WONDERFUL for us to do. Like everyone else I know, these guys are also not impressed with what I deem wonderful.
Imagine my surprise when Jonge asked for a piece of paper to draw on.
Apparently, there are exceptions.
He required no instruction from me.
And he stayed with it until it all looked 'done' to him.
Tomorrow I'm thinking I'll set out some of the animal rubber stamps. Then those not interested in drawing can still have the thrill of an animal picture appearing on their paper too.
I'm impressed.
The mommy took it home to hang on her refrigerator, which of course is the first and best gallery of all!

Did you know there is actually a term for that? It is called strewing. I've been doing it since the girls were tiny - I didn't know until recently that there was a term for it.

He did a great job - I think you are on to something...can't see what else happens with this technique for you - your grandkids are so creative...
He's good! Can't wait to see what happens with the stamps!
