Granddaughters #1 & #2 came over on Sunday afternoon. I put them to work drawing figures to use with FaceTime story time with granddaughter #4 who is turning three very soon.
They did a fine job.
#1 first drew Red Riding Hood, the Wolf and the basket for grandma. Then she drew the three bears. I was pleasantly surprised by how well proportioned her figures were. She drew the bears from her head. For Red and Wolf she had pictures to draw from. She had me do all the coloring.
#2 drew the three pigs with coaching from me. Her first attempt had bodies smaller than heads. She did the coloring too.
I showed them both how adding a line grounds the figures instead of floating in air.
Here’s my Goldilocks.
Storytime will start on Wednesday. I did this for granddaughter #3 during Covid.
Now I need to make these cards stand up.

...keep being creative and pass it on to your granddaughters.
I think they have inherited the gift.
Great creative idea

Excellent work all round! Good suggestion about the line--I'll pass it on to Josie.
I am impressed. I don't think I could do that well myself!
Have you ever seen a crankie? I bet your granddaughters would love it. It is basically a scroll with the story pictures on it that you "crank" across a stage.
A lovely way to spend time with your grand daughters and # 4 will love the pictures and story I'm sure. 😀
A wonderful, creative way to entertain the grands. I love it when they are engrossed in artwork.
I haven't moved yet. It is a long, overcomplicated legal process to buy a property in England. However I am almost there and fingers 🤞 I will be moving within the next 3 weeks.
Agreed that this was a creative way to spend time with family and to get their imaginations working. Your granddaughters did auite well with their drawings, Marcia.
