Projects

What is this? Well it's my kitchen counter COVERED in some of Ethan's recent projects. Recent you ask? Yes actually, because I tend to recycle about this many papers every couple weeks.

Since the beginning of summer, he has gone through four art pads, each with 100 sheets, and three packages of lined paper each with 150 sheets! These are all his drawings, of course. Mostly animals, with a few cars, diggers, and tools thrown in the mix. He traces animals, draws animals, traces animals and draws animals. Did I mention that he likes to trace animals?

I recently collected my very favorite pages and put them in a three-ring binder in page protectors. Sad to say that the rest have met their recycling doom. It was hard to choose which ones to keep because they are all so darling, but can you imagine if I kept all of them?

My ENTIRE house would look like my kitchen counter!

People wonder what to do with all the papers that their kids get in school. I, on the other hand, will welcome the one project a day that preschool will bring!

Lol! I can't believe how much he likes drawing. I hope you went to Walmart recently and stocked up on notebooks, they are super cheap.

I have a box for creations made. But I like the three ring binder idea better.

It is so very hard to pick and choose.

Hilarious...who would think school offers the relief. I always thought we were flooded with too many papers from school.
