The really cute thing about this "lesson" is that, when Gabby was showing it all to me, she was pointing out which parts of Connor's flower picture were the leaves, stem and petals and which parts of his dinosaur picture were the teeth, spikes and tail. Can you see those things in his drawings?
It is cool that she could see those details. Probably because she saw the art during creation. As always, and especially so with children's art, the process is more important than the product!
