Smaller Class Size

 It's summer break for Metro Nashville Public Schools(though I'm still very much working..new art curriculum for the district almost done..more on that later).  So I have a very small class size...one!  My sweet baby girl(2 yrs 3 months) told mommy she wanted to color with daddy when he got home(I was working on the curriculum with my amazing team!!).  So...how could I say no to that sweet face.  She loves my box of colored pencils!!  She actually sharpened a pencil today..a skill I'm still trying to teach some of my students at school?!?!   After coloring a "George" coloring sheet...we went free style.  We used colored pencils, markers, crayons, stamps....and these super color tempera pens!!!
 I think Margaret is a natural born artists! 
Look at this abstract expressionist mixed media picture :) ha ha

  6. Just asked the wifey....she got them at Lakeshore. It is an educational company that has AMAZING stuff. Now I bought something like these from School Speciality/Sax. They have a lid and a felt tip....I think I bought them by the dz. You put your own tempera paint in them.
