My Little Artists!

Zack and Jake are really getting into art and creating. We've done a few art projects lately introducing several different mediums....drawing, coloring, painting, and pasting. Here are some of their recent masterpieces!
This is "Thomas the Train Towing Freight Cars" drawn by Zack. Looks like a mouse with droppings to me. lol
"Grammy's Car" and "It's You Mommy" both draw by Zack. For those that don't know, Grammy drives a new VW Beetle. He did a great job!
Another train with freight cars. Trains are his specialty.
I have no idea....?? I don't think he did either but he wanted me to take his picture next to them. lol
Tracing his hand.
Monthly we work on cards for people that are celebrating birthdays. We color, trace hands, do thumb prints, and add stickers. Here is Zack with his pile of cards to work on.
The special person getting this card will have an original "It's YOU Mommy!" drawn in it by Zack. Head, eyes, smile, and two little stubby legs. I personally think it looks like Oswald but will be happy that it's supposed to be me because it's cute. :)
Jake doing some watercolor painting. :)
Zack working on his watercolor.
TaDa! Suitable for hanging on any fridge!
Here they are making "pumpkin patches" by tearing orange construction paper and using glue stick to glue the "pumpkins" down. We colored vines in the patch and also added ghost, bat, and pumpkin stickers. They really liked this project. :) They hang on the fridge and everyday Zack says he wants to be little so he can go into his pumpkin patch. lol Jake just stands in front of his and stares and stares. :)

Great pumpkin patch Jake!! :)

More watercolor.

And here they are checking out their recent art projects on display. I hope they always enjoy being crafty and creative. :)

LOVE this soooo much. I want to come to your house and see the art too! I need to get stuff out for Bug to do. But with Ladybug getting into everything right now and putting everything in her mouth, I have kind of kept it all boxed up. Maybe when she is down for a nap today. hummmmmm
