Bodacious Bodies: The Workshop

We did our body outlines.  Although the paper wasn't cheap, it was a success nonetheless.  The girls thought the size of their coloring surface was amazing!  It was thrilling to be handed a crayon and told: go for it!  The baby loved getting traced, but was more interested in stepping on everyone else's creations than coloring her own.

The pros: they enjoyed it and loved showing off the results to grandparents and daddy.

The cons: once the kids saw me draw flowers on the baby's shirt, I was commissioned to draw a million different designs on everybody else's paper. Not exactly a "you keep busy while I do other work" type of activity.

They asked if they could do it again and I told them that on Friday we would do outlines again but this time they had to draw their insides!  They are excited about drawing their skeletons.

Don't you love the 1980s-looking rainbow leg-warmers on the second from the right girl?
