Yeah! Sophie was back to her “cooperative” self today during Art Time. I thought she has become “lukewarm” towards Art permanently based on her performance last week. But she was quite happy to paint and she did not fuss much when I left her alone to finish up the craft.
Although it is quite common for "E" to be associated with "Elephant", it is not easy to combine the two. I ended up making the "elephant" stand on its hind legs, like a circus elephant. It worked.
Sophie decided against using the rubber stamps (blue paint) initially and used her fingers instead. That was fine by me since she genuinely want to paint with her fingers. After all, it was really rare for her to confine her painting to the letter; usually she would deliberately paint the dining table and avoid the letter.
Sophie definitely knows what she wants. She kept pushing the art materials and tools away after some time. I had to stop the video to figure out what she wanted. Finally, I figured out that she was trying to tell me she was already done with the letter and she wanted to paint the “elephant” next. So I quickly mixed a batch of grey and let her use the roller on the “elephant”.
Again, one of those rare moments that Sophie could attach a plastic eye on the animal with minimum fuss or adjustment. I am so glad…
I wonder if Sophie would be confused by the usual pose of the "elephant". I added the decorations on its head to make it more like a circus elephant. Fortunately, she was still able to tell that it was an "en-fern" (she cannot pronounce "elephant") and trumpeted very well...
End Product - "E" For Elephant
