Here is a silly drawing games that is a lot of fun for kids to play. In this drawing game, you use dice to decide what parts of the drawing you will draw. We have included a face drawing game and a landscape drawing game. This is a lot of fun and it helps children who might not be able to draw freely and creatively...this will help them draw more freely and creatively. This will also increase silliness.

The Monkey and the Crocodile Story: Moral of the story: "The person who wants to cheat others will be cheated and loose everything"
For years now, exact replicas of some of Andy's crayon drawings (seen in his room in the original Toy Story) have been making their way around the net. They were first posted on the world famous Pixar Planet Forums and have been used by countless Toy Story fans who are trying to recreate the iconic room from the film. Full credit (as well as a big thanks a shout out) goes to Pixar Planet Forum user "Toodles" who created and posted these replica drawings back in 2010! Anyway, these are absolutely fantastic. They are the perfect final touch to any Toy Story themed room, birthday party or other event! And what's great is (besides being free), they're already sized to a normal [8"X10"] piece of printer paper; so all you have to do is save the JPEG images to your computer, open them in the default photo viewer (doesn't matter if it's a Mac or PC) and press print. Simple as that. I didn't have to make any sizing adjustments in Photoshop or anything. Check out each "drawing" (with screen shot references of where they are in the film) below: Andy's Room KEEP OUT Woody Woody on a Horse To Infinity and Beyond Buzz Lightyear Mr. Potato Head WANTED The detail on each image is super impressive (even down to the finger prints on Andy's Keep Out sign). Here's how they were made: "I made them by first tracking down decent reference pictures of the originals. The first few were posted on here [Pixar Planet Forum] by other members, and the most recent ones I found myself. From there I just printed them out full-size and traced over the image using actual crayons. Then I scanned them back in and voila! Accurate replicas that are clean, crisp, and actually drawn with crayons." Again, a huge thanks to "Toodles" for creating them and making them so easily accessible for all us fans to use! What a cool process. Here are mine all printed out! Perfect right? Note: my printed WANTED picture will be shown here soon in a future update. UPDATE 4/12/16- As promised, here is the Potato Head WANTED poster printed out. I couldn't post it here without the full effect- so I went ahead and made a complete replica of the box building it's tacked onto in the film! First, I went to several stores around town yesterday looking for the perfect size cardboard box (it also had to be unmarked- a lot of moving/shipping boxes have text or logos on them). While the one I found (ended up up finding it at the UPS store) isn't the exact dimensions seen in the film, it's really close. It was the closest I could find (it's only about 2 inches too wide, but the more square boxes weren't wide enough; however it's the perfect height). I then looked at my screen shot from the film and meticulously free handed the windows as best I could with pencil (while also trying to capture all of Andy's "mistakes"). Finally, I went over it with green and black crayons, added the screen accurate yellow tacks and curled the bottom left corner up just a little- and there you go! I might tweak it some more, but I don't want to mess with it too much. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. If you're looking to get really crafty and would like to recreate all the cardboard western town buildings seen in Andy's room, I took the screen shots below to [hopefully] make that process easier! Now you don't have to go back and try to pause the movie for each one. There are six main buildings that are clearly visible: the one with the WANTED sign (seen above), the saloon, the bank, the general store, the "skool" and the hotel. Check 'em out- Saloon Bank General Store General Store and Bank (side and back views with cows) "Skool" amd hotel Best of luck! If you're gonna take on the cardboard building project, I would love to see them when they're done. Or if you've already completed them, shoot me an email with the images! I love to see what other Toy Story fans are able to achieve. Check back here tomorrow for part 2!

I have decided that I should have been an owl. The later it gets the better I focus and the more work I get done. I hit my stride at 7:30 pm. Here's the only problem with that - I get up at 5:30 am and my mind doesn't slow down until midnight. Sad, I know. Anyway, this will be a quick post. I am going to do my best to be a better blogger this week. We will see how that goes. I definitely seem to be getting more accomplished now that the craft room is functional and I've started listening to old Friday Night Lights episodes. By the way, LOVING my bajillion mason jars full of markers. They came in quite handy tonight. Plus, I love the fact I can work at the laptop, send something to the printer, grab the paper, scissors, and markers, and go to town. Speaking of paper, scissors, and markers, I have a new writing packet to share. It's called my Picture This Writing packet. It was created to give kids the chance to share their favorite places to visit. I've discovered that my kids do SOOO much better with their writing when they have a little craft included with it. Below are pictures. I also made three different types of writing paper so it's easier to differentiate. If you have any questions, shoot me an email and if you like the packet, click on it. It will take you straight to my TPT store. Have a great day tomorrow! Hopefully, I'll be back with a quick Mother's Day freebie tomorrow.

Last week my class made these adorable frog artworks. We read a frog based story that complemented our unit of work on water. I cannot remember the title, but when I am back at school I will find it! Here are just a few of them. I started with a 'directed drawing' and then guided the students through completing their artwork with oil pastel and a thin paint wash. We mounted them on thin card and then drew a few white oil pastel clouds on them also. My students loved making these and they were so proud of themselves. You can find the lesson details from my program page HERE Have you completed any frog themed artworks? - Mel

Inspired by my previous post, I have created a series of 6 doodle sheets that are free to download. I have produced them at A5 size (though they could be made smaller or larger if you choose) and they can either be printed off and used as they come, or trimmed and laminated to make re-usable doodle sheets, as illustrated here. If laminated, they should be used with special dry-wipe pens to allow them to be wiped clean. I also punched a hole in the corner of each sheet and tied them together using a keyring so that I could carry them about more easily. You are free to use these however you choose (except commercially of course!) However if you do wish to use them, please consider making a small donation to help support my personal blog. You can do this by clicking on the button below, or by using the Ko-Fi widget in the sidebar. To get your doodle sheets just click on the each image to open up the full size image, then right click to download a copy.
