Creative Kids

There is a lot of creating going on at our house these days!

Coloring and drawing is a staple, particularly for Nora. She often wants to do homework right along with Zeke. Her current favorite medium is marker, and she will color the whole page navy blue, red, or magenta. Thank goodness these washable markers really do wash out of clothing!   


Both kids are in heaven with PlayDoh. Mom and dad aren't so crazy about the mess, but the kids have a blast. We have a food set, so they create all sorts of 'tasty' things. Zeke loves the ice cream cone (with sprinkles!) and the popsicles and has been awesome about cleaning up. 


Nora loves the molds and cutting out various food items - it is one of her very favorite things. Here she has a piece of bread and a cookie. She also loves to make pretzels.


Zeke has of late been leaving me pictures on our white board, usually with a story to go with it. Here we are as gingerbread people, 


and this windmill has the caption 'Wheat can make bread and flour.' I love the stalk of wheat, loaf of bread, and sack of flour next to the windmill.
