Turtle Art by Chase

For the past several months, Chase has been studying sea turtles at school.  What's great about where he goes to school is that what they're learning in the classroom carries over into other parts of their education such as using their technology classes and art classes to explore different ways to learn about turtles.  Today, Chase brought home his turtle artwork that he's been telling me about for weeks....

It's crayon that's been painted over with black and then etched.  I think it's beautiful :)

Just Like Marzipan

For the past several days, the modeling clay has had a home at our breakfast table. Henri really enjoys smashing it, but Chase and I are having so much fun creating little creatures. So far we've made: Pig, penguin (I made Private and Claire turned him into Skipper by flattening his head!), chickens & coop, cat, whale, dogs, turtles... you name it... we can make it.
