Friday afternoon after school the kids came home, had a snack, and then after playing for a little bit asked if we could make books. I remember doing this as a kid and thought that it was a great idea. So we started on their homemade books late Friday afternoon. Saturday morning came and we continued working on their first books and then they both wanted to do another. So Emma, Henry, and Mommy spent the first couple hours of our Saturday morning making books. They loved it(and so did I)! And they have each made three books. Here are their creations.
Emma's first homemade book.
Emma's book cover. This is how she signs her name on most of her school work. We are working on letter order. I'm very proud of her as well. She's doing really well with her writing.
Not sure what this is suppose to be,but I think it looks pretty neat:)
Red is her second favorite color and squares are one of the many shapes that she learned at school this past week.
More abstract artwork from Emma.
Practicing her lower case Es. And she asked for red hearts and an apple just like her bubby.
Emma's palm tree and her name in orange on the side. They learned about palm trees in one of their stories at school.Emma's second homemade book.
Emma's book cover-not sure what these are.
She combined drawing and cutting and pasting for her second book.
Emma did all of her cutting and pasting herself.
Look closely and you will see three capital Hs written by Henry. He writes the best Hs and yes, I am VERY proud of him!
Henry played art director on this book. He told me what he wanted and what color and
I cut and pasted each piece where he told me to. A blue kite and a green grasshopper.
A brown wolf and a red apple. And he wrote his name with only a little help from me.
A blue helicopter and a tree. And his name again, bigger this time.
A black T Rex and a green shark.
A blue spider and a green bear.
And finally, a brown dragonfly and a yellow eagle.
Henry's second homemade book. 
This is Henry standing outside in the sunshine.
I believe he said that these were dragons.
The picture on the left is of Uncle Philip(figure on the left) and of Mommy with Henry in my tummy(figure on the right). I kindly reminded him that he shared Mommy's tummy with Emma. He said that he'd put her in there in his next picture. I want to say that the green drawing is of a dinosaur(a T-Rex perhaps).
Drawing of some sea life on the left and people swimming on the right.
Bugs and aliens:)
Not sure what this is.
Or this.
And there's Henry in Mommy's tummy again.
