More Things to Do in Quarantine

How’s it going at your house? Anybody going stir crazy yet? We are doing good here! I never seem to run out of things I enjoy doing. (And there always seems to be enough work to keep me busy too!) I wanted to share a few more things with you that you can do while everyone is cooped up at home. These all involve using the internet.

#1.) Olaf voice actor reading books to kids online every night – https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1OdKrqwYAgyxX This looks to be fun and entertaining!

#2.) The Big List of Children’s Authors Doing Online Read Alouds & Activities – https://www.weareteachers.com/virtual-author-activities/?utm_content=1584565321&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3WY8h07GxYTdhoyRW6hsnik2Q7te9_nHI3hIYMF0GJZm_w-BTv8HL7da0

#3.) Arree’s FREE Creativity Camp – Free writing, drawing and storytelling classes from award winning author/illustrator Arree Chung. I’ve signed up for this one too! https://arree.com/camp/

I hope these websites will help you and your kids find fun things to do together! Have a great weekend! Thanks for visiting!

Let’s Draw Penguins!

Think you aren’t the world’s greatest artist? Yea, me too, but you can draw this penguin! We’ll take it step by step and you will be impressed with your artistic abilities when you’re done! Grab a piece of white paper, a pencil if you are a little uneasy, a black marker if you’ve “got this” and an orange or yellow marker or pen. If you are feeling rather unsure, draw with the pencil first and then trace over it with the marker. First draw an oval on its side.

Next draw this shape inside the oval. It’s almost a heart but not pointed on the bottom like a heart.

Now let’s add 2 eyes and 2 little triangles for the penguin’s beak.

Color in the black part of the head and the orange or yellow beak.

Our penguin needs a body so let’s add an oval now for that. Add a second oval inside the first oval.

Next, color in the black part of the body.

How about giving your penguin 2 wings so he’ll be able to swim? And 2 feet are important for walking!

Color his wings in black and his feet in orange or yellow. And tah dah!! You’ve drawn your first adorable penguin! Great job! 🙂

If you enjoyed drawing one penguin, go ahead and draw a colony of them! 🙂
