A few weeks ago Red Ted went on a “drawing frenzy” and drew 10s of these little “robots” – big ones, little ones, ones with babies inside, even a robot slide. We had to cut them all out and create a gallery in his room. For some reason he is going through a “can’t draw” phase now, which is a shame, as he did so well with these robots… I know it will come back!

So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day [...]

And they can be whenever, so some crafty bloggers got together to talk Gifts for Dad that Kids can make!! Brilliant. There are of course the Father’s [...]
Quick Craft: Father’s Day Feet Bookmarks
We saw these super cute and easy footprint bookmarks over at The Seeds Network Blog. We used contact paper and wrote the children’s ages on the back. The ribbons are recycled! Father’s Day sorted (we made extra for the grandfather’s too). We love footprint crafts and have made plenty of thank you cards and even [...]
JDaniel4 loves robot too. I love that you hung up his pictures!
Aaah thank you. It was soooo cute. They stayed up about 2 weeks after that they started falling off from all the “playing”…
Hello! My little boy (3.5) also thinks he can’t draw at the moment. He does a drawing and then draws over it straight away… not sure why this is. We always try to be very encouraging. Maybe he is comparing his drawings to big sister’s drawings? I know he doesn’t like being centre of attention… well, I am sure it will work itself out, I just feel like I don’t understand why.
I am still in a cant draw phase!
no hope for me at all…

Nina – I am pretty certain it is just a “phase” – with us it is a mixture of “wanting something perfect” (everything “we” do is perfect compared to him) and thinking we can do everything better – he hates drawing outside the lines at the moment and gets very frustrated if one line (say a leg) ends up in the wrong place. I am sure it is a phase and we just have to keep encouraging (maybe not looking when they are drawing) etc
Northernmum – I bet you are better than you think! Ha!
super pictures
how nice! A gallery! All artists go through the “I can’t draw” stage. I’m sure he’ll come out of it! {:-D
Oooh I will think of him as an artist then…
What a cute idea to put them in a “gallery.” Pretty neat!
And I hope his muse returns soon…
=)
The good news is, he didn’t just paint on the wall. Very creative.
Oh…he’s pretty cute!
Artists are moody ! that’s why they are artists
!
Oh, I so admire the way you create confidence in your child.
What a wonderful accolade to his creativity…a gallery of his own.
I love the faces on his robots!
Thanks for the smile and the grand link this week.
A+
Aaah thank you Jenny, what a very lovely comment! Much appreciated!
