A STORY AND A BOWL

The boys and I met Stephanie, Christopher, Lucy, Meghan, Drew, and Ty at Color Me Mine on Wednesday. Color Me Mine is a pottery place that you can paint pre-made pottery. We decided to check out their "Paint me a story" for kids. It was a neat thing to do with the kids. The story was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The book was read and then the boys started painting their bowls. They painted the bowls with yellow first. After painting the bowl they wrote (Joshua got help from me) their name, age and/or the date on the bottom of the bowl. Then they took sponges and painted the body of the caterpillar. After the body they painted eyes, nose, antenae, and legs. The final touch to the bowl was to add food for the caterpillar to the bowl, one single leaf in the bowl...Very cute! I look forward to seeing the end result. Joshua did it all on his own...he and the other boys had an exciting time.
Thanks for the idea Stephanie.
