Birthday Cards
Here are the cards my kids made for their Grandma Cochran. I love children’s artwork, especially when they start drawing more detailed drawings. It’s a unique expression of what’s inside their brains.
Here’s Isaac’s letter. He struggles with writing, but he is getting better.
Next is Charlotte’s. Her card is my favorite because it’s the most unique and creative. It is composed one piece of paper folded into a card.
Front:
Middle: She asked me to write “I hope you’re having a good birthday†across the top. The pen mark in the middle is Nicole’s unsolicited addition to the card. She drew the forklift and then scribbled some blue on it that represents the wrapping paper. She asked me to make a word bubble that says “I think this is a forklift.†When she drew the box on the other side she said it goes from black to grey and then she drew a bow on top. She wanted me to write that there are bananas in the box.
Back: Both pictures are of grandma opening her box of bananas. The yellow things are bananas. Once again, she dictated the text that she wanted in word bubbles. The green grandma makes me laugh because of the detail she added. That grandma is sitting on a box and has a stomach, bottom, and hair. She also has very long fingers.
Nicole’s picture: As she drew, Nicole said the following things:
-
It’s Grandma!
-
an elephant!
-
grandpa Bryan
-
I drawed an elevator
-
a toy!
-
She want draw a monkey
(Did you find all those things in there? I think the grandma is the circles, the elevator is some veritable lines on the opposite side and I can’t even guess which ones the others are)
And finally, Ila’s drawing: Nicole reached across to Ila’s picture a few times, so I can’t guarantee that every scribble is Ila’s.
