Bear loves her new oil pastels. They are so much better than using Mommy's ancient broken ones. After she had explored using them a bit, I drew a star using the silver and gold pastels.
I drew dots for her and she connected these inside the stars.
Then she added watercolors. This one is hers.
Mommy got in on the fun too. This one is mine.
This kept her engaged for a really long time. She did a total of 8 stars in the same session!
It makes a good project to go with a lesson on the three wise men or Epiphany.
It also goes well with a book we've been reading called The Christmas Star.

Those are beautiful!! I love the combination of the oil pastels and watercolors. I used to have some oil pastels...I'll have to get some new ones to share with The Littlest Apple.
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork! I am glad that Bear enjoys her artsy Christmas gift - those colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I'm going to have to hunt down my pastels and try this with the kiddos.
