Flowers for Oma

Yesterday, Todd had just watched a Dragon Tales episode where Cassie used a magic crayon to draw a get-well card for her ailing mother. The "magic" of the crayon is that anything you draw comes to life-- so when she drew a heart on the front of the card, it popped out in 3-D, and the flowers in the card sprang out as if a bouquet had been suppressed inside.

So, little man decided he wanted to follow suit by making Oma a get-well card (appropriate timing, as she's currently in surgery as I type this). I helped him by showing him how to draw certain flowers: daisy, tulip, daffodil. After watching me carefully, he tried drawing the flowers himself, freehand. Afterward, we colored them and cut them out to mimic the "3-D" nature of the magic crayon's effects.

Here's the results of our efforts (click on the photo for a larger version):



Not bad! His drawing skills are definitely improving!
Now... to set about making another card for Oma for when she gets home from the hospital...
