All of the sudden, both little girls are starting to pay attention to lines, colors and completion. For so long, the crayon has slipped out of Adeline's immature and weak grasp. Now that she has a stronger grasp, she can give her attention to the actual picture. Lila, for months, has colored (I think scribbled although she fights me on it) every picture in rainbow fashion. She solidly covers the picture with a variety of colors paying no attention to lines or appropriate colors. Why does she do this? Well, Miss Adeline loves rainbows and Lila colors every picture in rainbow fashion and then gives them to her. This was sweet the first five times, after seeing 30 plus scribbled pictures, I am tired of rainbow coloring. Needless to say, after sitting down and coloring Valentine pictures together during one of our many snow days, I was overjoyed.
Coloring in the lines 75% of the time (for Lila at least) - check
Using appropriate colors or colors that we chose instead of just grab without looking - check
Coloring the entire picture (mainly a milestone for Adeline) - check
Double click for a close up.
All three girls colored the same picture. No longer such a difference!
