Color with Me! Episode 1 – Fairies and Mermaids

My kids LOVE to color.
For Christmas they got some fun “learn to draw” books and
we have been working our way through them!
This is the one we are using in this video. I found it on Amazon and we LOVE it!
It’s Fun to Draw Fairies and Mermaids
I just got a fresh stack of paper and crayons. GOLD to the girls!

My kids love to watch me or other kids draw.
So I thought it would be fun to share a new Video Series…
Color with Me!

We’ll be doing different episodes of our coloring time, drawing different things.
If you need a few moments of sanity…this is something your little kids could watch!
I love seeing them learn new things to draw and maybe your kids will think it’s fun and draw with them!

 

I’ll be grabbing my camera and capturing some of our coloring…
But most of our coloring times are set aside for mom and kid time. no distractions!
This past week, I was making a point to have some fun creative time with my girls.
I’ve been setting everything aside (if it works out with the little boys) and coloring with them.
We’ve been taking turns picking a theme each day. So far we’ve done Ocean, Princess, Ballerina and Garden. ;)

Sitting and coloring with them makes moments happen;
Moments to teach them or witness them being kind to each other…complementing or encouraging their sister,
Moments to hear funny stories from school and their day,
Moments to love on them!
I highly recommend setting aside your to do list and phone and tapping
into your sweet little ones creativity and tender hearts.
Sometimes as busy mamas it’s hard to just stop and PLAY. and maybe this won’t be drawing with
your kids but sitting and playing legos (that’s the way to Micah’s heart)
But putting that effort in has really made a difference. Not that I didn’t do it before…
but now I’m very conscience of my decision to tune into them and them alone!
