On a Roll - The Children's English Hour Week Six

Several weeks ago, one of our CAW Dads donated a bag of empty, clean roll-on deodorant bottles. So I made some big ball-point paint pens with them. This was a fun project that inspired me to read Art by Patrick McDonnell again - a big favorite of kids and parents! (I am especially taken with the author's support of organizations that dedicate their work to animal and environmental causes. If you're interested in purchasing a Patrick McDonnell book, visit his website store. Items sold exclusively on the site are made with organic materials and a tree is planted for every print sold.) "Art" introduced new English words for the kids including: zig-zag, scribble, squiggle, dot, splotch, blotch, doodle, and curlycue.


Here are the kids in action, creating zig-zags, scribbles, squiggles, dots, splotches, blotches, doodles, and curlycues!
