A Work of Art

I know. You're probably thinking that this looks like any other preschool art project. You're right! It does! And that is SO exciting!

Yep, our little HG made this fireman puppet at her preschool this week after a visit to the fire station. She colored it herself (look at how she made the different parts different colors), cut it out herself, and placed the pieces on the sack. She didn't have time to finish it all at school and so I had her cut it out at home and I confess that I did squirt the glue out for her (all in the interest of the little time we had left after her cutting) but she did place the pieces appropriately!

Why is this such a big deal? This child didn't color in the lines a few weeks ago. This child did not color different parts of a picture different colors. This child could barely handle a pair of scissors. And this week, she put it all together and made a puppet.

So pleased with her work, aren't you? She's learning, working hard every week. I'm a proud Mommy, that's for sure.
