father's day
Bee had her last day of kindergarten today, so I am feeling particularly nostalgic. Yesterday I went into her classroom for the last time for a little graduation ceremony and to help the kids make Father's Day cards. We repurposed the Mother's Day cards we made with her preschool group last year. (To paraphrase something I once heard Paula Scher say.. "Have one good idea, then keep re-doing it.")
The trick is to draw the head and body for each child, so it fills up the page nicely and fits in the frame (I made these ones from heavyweight construction paper). Have your kids draw first with a pen or black pencil, just the outlines of ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc. Then use colored pencils or crayons to fill in the details. I loved watching the kids draw their dads, trying to remember how their hair looks, what color their eyes are, what kind of shirt he likes to wear.
This is Bee's. I love how she decorated her frame.. I am sure her father will feel very loved! When we got home from school I had my 7 year old son make one too (in the green frame at top), I especially love the shirt detail. Then they both filled out the "What I Know About My Dad" questionairre I taped to the back. The kids were really so sweet as they tried to think of good answers to all these questions. My favorite answer of the day came from a darling little 5 year old when I asked her "One thing that makes my dad happy is...". She thought about it for a minute and then said "Just that he has me in his life." I told her that was the best answer I had heard all day.
If you feel so inclined to make your own, here is a template for the head, and the questionairre (which prints two to a page).

The George and Martha book series by James Marshall is one of my favorites! Reading about their adventures takes me back to my childhood. Their friendship is heartwarming, and the stories are both amusing and significant. Their comical exploits always fascinated me, and giving this book to a younger generation is especially meaningful. The compilation of all the George and Martha books in one volume is a real delight, providing over 300 pages of pure nostalgia and happiness. To all fellow fans out there, enjoy reading and have a wonderful time!
I'm grateful. I simply enjoy your blog and your taste, and this is amazing. Again, thank you!
