The other night when my daughter was supposed to be sleeping she came out of her bedroom and showed me all these amazing drawings. I scolded her, but then I just was so enamored by these drawings that it didn't really matter if she was suppose to be sleeping. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I'm an art teacher and I am just so proud whenever she is drawing! I just wanted to share these fabulous animal drawings done in metallic, green, purple, and black markers (and blue ink pen) by C. Let me know what you think. I admit this happens a lot....maybe she just knows I don't mind if she stays up drawing?

Do you let your kids draw (or anything else) when they should be sleeping?
That are fantastic drawings. My daughter doesn't draw when she is supposed to be sleeping but she does tell me all about which animals she played with when she was supposed to be sleeping.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ali. THe more response I get from this post I see it is fairly normal to be a little active at night. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteThis is wonderful. My daughter is known to stay up late reading unless I very firmly turn off the light.
ReplyDeleteThanks. My daughter stays up with books too. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteThese are beautiful Melissa! C is so creative! (Get's that from her mommy)
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal. I will let C know and she will be so proud!
DeleteVery cute! Love the caterpillars cheeky face :) And yes, I let my lil one to draw (and write) when she is supposed to be sleeping. It doesn`t happen every night though :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mermaid. Thanks for sharing. The only time she isn't up is when she has had an exhausting day. After all this input here and on Facebook I will set some guidelines about drawing and reading and see how it goes. C is such an active girl...she definitely needs a winding down time this just happens to be a very creative time.
DeleteGorgeous - I'm just the same. my kids know now that the can get away with almost anything, as long as they produce a beautiful drawing at some point in the proceedings.
ReplyDeleteLove the drawings. I love it when kids use variety of colors to make everything so colorful. So much better than real world. The duck is my favorite!
