Meet Mars and Jupiter

Eler Beth had a substitute art teacher last week who had them draw one shape, and then, using that shape, create a "creature" of some kind.  So Eler Beth created two cute little aliens from her original shapes.  She named them after planets.  I especially like Mars.  He's cute enough to be in a story book.  I told her she needs to write an illustrated story about his adventures.  They are cute enough to share here, so here they are.  (I added explanations in case some of you can't figure out what everything is.)  Sorry if you aren't into "kid" art.  This is the equivilant, I know, of hanging my kids' art up in my cubicle and calling every visitor's attention to it.  But, hey, indulge me, okay?

Wish I could see the pictures. I love to see kid's art. I still have a piece of my grandson's art on my refrigerator and he is 22 years old now. I think kids have it harder in schooll then we had it. I feel so bad for them when I see them with those heavy back packs on. Paula

I agree, things are so much harder for them, and about the backpacks!  Last year my granddaughter was a very slight little blonde 9 yr old.  The backpack made her walk all slumped over, like a turtle. I was so worried about what it was doing to her spine!  Thankfully she got her growing spurt over the summer and filled out a little as well.  Now when she has her back pack on it doesn't look like it's going to crush her!!
