So I have to brag just a bit because this picture inspired my son to draw his own. My daughter hasn’t stopped drawing since she first picked up a pencil, but my son’s a different story. He doesn’t have the desire to draw and most of the time when asked, he refuses. But today, he decided he would pick up a pencil. He made me leave the room until he was finished. When he finally called me in to see his masterpiece, I was in awe. This is what my three year old came up with:
Not bad for a kid who rarely draws. He even used different colors to draw the snowman’s circles, mimicking my shading of the snowman. My favorite thing is the huge “handsome” feet as my son called them.
My daughter had to get in on the snowman action too, so here’s her take on this week’s topic, mountain climbing snowmen:
I think every girl needs pink boots and matching pink tree.
Enough bragging for now.
