Don't you just love a fresh new box of crayons? I know they don't stay new for long and the old ones can be sharpened and work just as well...but I love how inspiring a brand new box of crayons can be. My children could hardly wait to use them and draw to their hearts content on the huge drawing pad I brought home.
Coloring is something I really enjoy. Whether at the dining room table or on the floor, coloring book or blank white sheet of paper, every time I do it I think I ought to do it more. Something about it...it seems to take me back to my childhood. It's relaxing too. Adding whatever color you want to a picture, shading lightly or adding pressure for a darker color.
It's always a sweet time of togetherness as we compliment each other on our drawings. And though I'm not the greatest of artists, my children are my biggest fans. "Wow mommy!", "That's beautiful!". They make me smile.
Have you colored a picture lately?
