On this lazy Saturday, Papa David read Papa Piccolo today for Satori. It was her third time hearing it, so she interrupted a few times to gloat about knowing what happens on the next page, and told Daddy his “voices” for Sophia the cat were all wrong (I said them in a soft, high voice). But both David and I gave an Italian accent to the Venetian cat voices. 
Papa reading to his little kitten
For art, we took this two page spread and tried to replicate its colors. I took our medium with the most colors, this Crayola crayon set, quickly sketched out the scene, and had Satori pick the matching colors.
Replicating this beautiful page
It ended up being a family art project! We all pitched in and colored the page.
Family Art!
And the finished artwork now hangs up on our inspiration wire for all to see! (Check out the cute decorated miniature clothespins I found at Michaels the other day!)
Our finished artwork
There is *more* art lessons I want to show Satori from this book, but I probably won’t make a part 3 blog post out of it. Part 1 was the color wheel (primary and secondary colors). Part 2 was color matching and examining the artwork in the book (beautiful watercolors). Part 3 is complementary color, highlights in eyes, and windows on houses in the dark (yellow windows upon dark houses).
