Snowmen

We have loved having snow on the ground.  My Anna Mei loves to be out in the snow, and she was dying to build a real snowman so she was super happy when the weather turned warm enough to enjoy this white stuff.

While we waited to play in it, we read lots of snowman books!  Snowmen at Night is one of our favorites, and we did this little art project inspired by the book.  We talked about perspective as we created them as this is an aerial view of a snowman. 

We used pastel crayons, and the girls absolutely loved using them.

They did not hold back when adding color to these unique guys, but I always encourage them to create anything they want so I resisted telling them what to use.

This girl's fine motor skills are truly amazing.  She cut out all her pieces by herself with regular scissors!

This one is my artist.  Her brain is definitely not black and white.  She sees the world with an artist perspective for sure, and I enjoy her so very much!
