Rainbow colored Pumpkins?
We read The Bumpy Little Pumpkin one morning and discussed how every pumpkin is different. Don't you just love Little Nell?
I came across this art activity a few months ago and we ripped it like a band-aid a few Fridays ago. They loved working with pastels and every single angel was proud of the results. This is great for introducing line, shape, shading, primary and secondary colors. And yes, every color of the rainbow is used and my angels loved that tidbit of information.
I overheard one of my boys describe the drawing process to his friend; "Draw a weiner and then the bun." Sure, why not?
Et Voila, here are a few finished masterpieces:

Those are seriously beautiful. It's hard to believe they were done by 6 and 7 year olds!
