(She doesn't necessarily love getting projects started as sometimes she needs to warm up a bit to the project I pick, but it is good practice for her to take chances and try new things....)

 

Anyway, earlier this week, we did Name Tangles , which was a hit.

 

It did take them a little while to warm up to the idea, but after a few minutes they got into it, and then Redhead made 5 more this week.....   Jewel made probably 3 or 4 more....  They used different words each time and found it's a bit tricky deciding how you want the letters to lie on the page.

 

What made me smile more, was Jewel using the Tornado Worm idea on one of her pages as different colored worms for each section.  (Note - this project was used with 9th graders....)  We had done Dr. Seuss's Tornado Worms art starter a few weeks ago.  Lousy instructions online, but once the girls got the idea, they *loved* it and shared it with friends.

 

Our girls have been having a lot of fun with art extras....  It's an easy way to liven up our home school day!
