Lily’s art these days
aside from the purple stars on the right, Lily did it all
ballerinas with sticker tiaras and cats
i’ve been meaning to write a small post about how much we love melissa&doug products but haven’t gotten around it. so i will do it now
are you guys familiar with their kid products? they are great and Lily has a few but, the ones we love the most right now are their huge coloring and sticker books
they are seriously hours (and hours and hours) of creative fun
Lily spends endless hours with them
if you have little ones who like to color and who like stickers, you should really check them out
in the lines and using different colors with markers
markers and pencils
i always go through target’s one dollar section. there are usually some great grabs there as far as coloring books and stickers are concerned. the way this girl goes through them, they need to be that price
color pencils
she is getting really good at staying in the lines and using different colors
watercolors are a bit messy but she is getting the hang of it
freestyle elmo and cookie monster drawing
the days are hot here during august. and september and….
well, we have been staying in a lot and keeping busy with coloring and sticker books
i cannot believe the progress Lily has made on her coloring in what seems to be just a couple of weeks
she is selective about her use of color (most of the time), is taking her time and trying to stay in the lines
and she is not even three
she uses color pencils as well as she uses markers and enjoys watercolors, crayons and paints just the same
i think it’s important to use all different mediums, don’t you?
we will be on a long flight to Portugal on friday and you bet i will be filling up Lily’s elmo backpack with all sorts of coloring books, stickers and pencils/markers
happy ARTsy wednesday everyone
ps- sorry for the longest Lily art post but since the few last ARTsy wednesday posts were dedicated to my own paintings, she was overdue
