8 Year Celebration!


Every few years we play a game here, and I'd love for you to join in!
It's a celebration of childhood imagination.  It's a chance to tap into that innocent wonder again... a chance to have your own creativity re-energized.

August marked the 8th year anniversary of this blog, Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty, where I've shared the things my kids make and draw that amaze me, humor me, inspire me.  I've also loved watching the kids' abilities grow and blossom over the course of the 700 pictures found here.  We invite you to celebrate this blog milestone with us by swimming through the Blog Archive and enjoying all the kid creativity on display.  Then, play along: Find a favorite drawing and "Lemon Toot" it (re-illustrate)!  Post your image on Twitter with the hashtag #LemonTooted  or email it to me at  zenzart @ hotmail dot com
I'll keep my eyes open for new contributions and add them to this post as they come in.  Be inspired, Have fun!!!
