Little Metal Dudes
by Isaac
Isaac made these AWESOME guys using a mishmash of loose odd screws and washers and whoosits... One cool thing is that he didn't even glue them at all -- he fit everything together using the natural forms of the pieces...

Medusa needs some help getting her snakes untangled... but hairdressers aren't much good when they keep turning to stone!
We're celebrating the 1 year anniversary of our other family blog Bookie Woogie this week! For the past year we've taken a look at some of our favorite children's books, both new releases and old favorites. Each week we learn a little bit about writing, language, illustration, and storytelling. But mostly it's just a fun place for our family to talk about books and why we love them.
Each week the kids make fan art for whatever book is highlighted. It's lots of fun to make drawings inspired by our favorite illustrators. Some of the pictures created for Bookie Woogie have already crept over to Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty, but I thought I'd showcase a few more of my favorite "fan art" pictures the kids have done thus far...
