simply pencil and paper
who knew that when N found the regular old pencil i put in her colored pencil cup, a new favorite medium would be born?
she’s been keeping it simple over here for a coupla days now… just doing basic line drawings with a pencil and some scrap paper i keep in a bin on her art desk.
while N draws, she always narrates what is going on in the picture and what the characters are saying, in different voices and such.it’s fascinating to watch.
i will share a few (of the stack that’s collecting) of her little scenes – so fun!
festival with bounce-house, daddy with cotton candy, N with balloons, and mommy with her camera (what else would i have?)
walrus jumping rope while a bird brings her (easter) eggs to a nest
N feeding our cats their dinner bowls, but the cats are mad (see wagging tail) because a yeti has caught a person in a lasso
L to R: bird with a present, ant, spider climbing tree trunk to his web, bee, butterfly, flowers
she even made a little birthday card for our cat, bean, who turned 9 on sunday… just one day before N turned 3.5 years old this past monday, the 26th – (yes, those half-birthdays are a big deal, right?)
she wrote the message and drew a picture of herself playing with bean with the laser cat toy
the other night she began to add some color to a few line drawings she did, using her crayons. i am really into this artistic development going on over here!
our cat, bean, giving iridessa (the light-talent fairy) a rainbow tube
so for this one, i’m willing to bet you’ve got all the materials you need!

I love these illustrations, Novi is so creative. We’ve been making zigzag books this week. Ours featured space dogs, unicorns and blackholes! http://nurturestore.co.uk/ideas-for-childrens-writing
