Our little artist....

I have tired to persuade Owen to like art FOREVER, but he has never been interested until now!  I would always get out a ton of coloring books, crayons, markers, paint, scissors, etc and he would act excited but his excitement and attention would fade about 5 minutes later. Ha!  


So just when I had given up on our "fun" art projects, he decided that he might actually like coloring, painting, cutting, etc!


 He use to come home from school with a blank sheet of paper with one crayon mark, but now he'll color the whole page and put his own creative twist on it!


Owen's version of Earth....



two crab....

 Jellyfish....

 Owen has also really been in to building towers.  His favorite thing to do is build a zoo and then put all the animals in their appropriate places.  Our living room floor has been a "zoo" quite a bit lately and Ava Kate has been the tornado!  



Owen was really into the Olympics and loved watching most everything, but swimming and gymnastics were probably his favorite.  The OT's at my work had printed a coloring sheet of the Olympic rings so I brought one home for Owen.  We pulled a picture up on our phone for him to see the "real" Olympic rings and he colored his to match.  I complemented him on his artwork and he told me "I did it for Emmie"! Ha!


A few more art projects from school....
