Noodle Doodle #8

The dude is being prolific this week. We stopped at Ted's for lunch (delicious bison sliders) and they give kids these wax-covered string things that bend into all manner of interesting shapes. What I loved even more than the creations themselves (which are awesome as-is) are the stories he make up to go along with his art.

A snippet:

"One day, a wind came and blew the tree over because it wasn't stable enough."

The trees below are The Rainbow Tree and The V Tree.

The creative mind of my little man was at it again this morning! Inspired by my Mockingbird piece, he drew some shapes that ended up looking like snakes with eggs, so he added tongues and eyes. Then he drew a giant fish on the backside. Still not finished, he grabbed a discarded egg carton and drew a fishing scene on it

Great artistic use of simple materials, dude!

The Stick Project

In the absence of friends with whom to bop about, the Noodle Dude could be found playing with sticks, just like his Mommy and Daddy once did.

I can't put captions under the photos using my iPhone app, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit. The last three pictures, if they stay in the same order, are the Trusty stick, the Hammer stick, and the Y stick. The others pics are more or less self explanatory - the artiste avec his medium.

Noodle Doodle #5

Another offering from the junior artist chez nous... He really liked the tree bridge I built (see Bridge over Beauty Green) but it was a bit fragile so he "recycled" it into this neat structure. I find that I quite prefer it to my own!

Noodle Doodle #4

Noah decided to create his masterpiece at Mellow Mushroom tonight. He named it "Crayon Talk". The condiment shakers are their guardians. Makes me wonder what exactly these nefarious crayons are conniving!

Noodle Doodle #3

Here's Noah's art project for this week, a bit earlier than we anticipated. He's using his collection of pencil-top erasers (like I did with my journals) and calls this piece "Boss Meeting":

Noodle Doodle #2

Noah's weekly offering is a little bracelet made out of store-bought foam beads. I'm sure there was a reason why he chose this (in fact, I'm positive there was). Unfortunately, no one seems to recall the genesis of the concept. The sweet part was that he made it for his little brother. The photo below shows the aforementioned little brother modeling his new jewelry.

My little man is joining the endeavor with his own weekly artwork! Here's his take on the "make something that fits in the palm of your hand" - a tiny chair made from just two of his brother's Lego Duplos:
