Activity #418: Appreciate the art around you

Becky sent us this activity: Find all the lady bugs…or all the elephants, trains, babies, or clouds. Using your child’s puzzles, toys and books, find all the examples you have of a single subject matter.
“It’s interesting to compare the ways different illustrators depict the same thing,” wrote Becky, “and I think it helps children to learn to see various examples of trains in all the different contexts.”
I pointed out to Julian that three of his different stuffed animals are all frogs and lined them up sitting next to each other. He seemed both intrigued and amused.
