Learn to Draw Animals (step-by-step instructions for 26 captivating creatures)

My (just turned 4 year old and soon-to-be 6 year old) grandchildren are doing their art lessons together.  We are using the book, Learn to Draw Animals (for ages 6+) , as part of their art curriculum this year.

Not bad for such young beginners.  I think I will like using this book. I am sure I will learn much as well, considering my utter lack of talent in this field.

View Master "DVDs" !


 Some things will never grow old.  (My grandson thought these View Master reels were DVDs when he first saw them.)  I had stored them in a shoebox in a closet after my own kids "outgrew" them.   Some of the reels had belonged to my husband and his siblings when they were young.  Some may be 40 or more years old.  Others,  were purchased as late as the mid-1990s, I think, for my own kids.  I found them and presented them to my grandkids - who found them to be quite a treat!
