New Year

Today we painted stars and read a short story and poem on the story of the Three Kings. It's the day after, but we don't do school on Sundays so it seemed appropriate for today.  This is wet on wet painting inspired by the style of Waldorf schools.

Star in an indigo sky.

The watercolors were mixed too weakly, but I love the dreamy effect. Left to right are 3-yr-old's, 6-yr-old's, and mine. I did mine as I read to the kids. Not sure where that orange line came from. My older daughter's is quite radiant in person. My younger daughter's is a ballerina. Can't you tell? She's not big on following instructions. Go figure.

We're heading into a new seasons of lessons. Looking forward to where we're headed.
