In our monthly art class , we talked about illustration. And made illustrations of our names. We also talked about how we each had a unique name and we are all unique to God, he knows each of us by name :-)
We first drew names in big puffy letters.
The puffy letters where colored with bright colors and/or illustrated with things the kids liked, see how Grace's c is a caterpillar, and the dot on Madeline's i is a guinea pig:-)
we brought them home to finish and since Shawn did not make one there we helped him make one at home. the plan is to hang them on their doors.

what a cool idea! i have a capital letter 'K' hanging on the computer desk here that Kali made in 1st grade. it's cut out of poster board and she sticker-lettered her name on it, then covered it with stickers of things she liked - it's still one of her favorite treasures from school.....and she is in 11th grade this year :). what priceless memories you are making with your kids!
What a good idea to combine creativity with decorating and getting to enjoy the artwork that much more!
blessings and hugs,
marcy
