Peacock Project


Leif’s most favorite bird all day was the peacock. He was all about making one for an art project after we got home from the zoo. Why not??

Flamingo


Inspired by the flamingo exhibit today, Leif decided he wanted to make a flamingo this evening. It came out completely awesome under his expert guidance!

Red, Red Robin


This morning I mentioned to Leif that the surest sign of spring is seeing a robin, with his beautiful red breast. Sure enough, out the window at breakfast, we spotted a robin, which inspired this art project.

River Project


Leif wants to do a river scene, so we check out several of his books and pick out animals to trace and paint. After careful selection, he paints the background and picks the animals.

After reading a book about arctic animals the night before, Leif is inspired to create a puffin bird project.
