Nature Friend Magazine

I am not good in the art department in school. Even though it was MY favorite class all through school, I can't seem to get it taught. After attending Solid Rock Camp this summer, I was so inspired to do something with the kids that was crafty or artsie once a week.

I was amazed at how many ideas jumped out at me! For instance, we subscribe to Nature Friend Magazine. It is creation science based, full of facts and has a *you can draw* page that we have always skipped over. While the children listened to world history and botany being read to them, they needed more to do so I bought sketch books and we read the directions(yes, I need to read directions to sketch) and off they went.

I hate to admit this, but this is the first drawing we've done together, I think they are catching on quickly. Each drawing introduces a new technique. Every other month there is a new picture to sketch and we are hoping that once of these days we might see one of ours in print!

Daniel -We told Danny his cattails made us hungry for toasted marshmallows!

Jacob - His duck has a *Picaso* look

Micah - who obviously became distracted and moved onto other things.
