Letter Of The Week - "q" For quill

It was a close fight between "quill" and "quilt", but eventually I chose the easy one to make. All we needed was a feather. It was necessary to make the little "tail" for "q" so that Sophie would not confuse that with "p" or "d". However, I got confused myself and called it "p" several times.





I feel that Sophie is getting more and more communicative lately. I am not complaining but I wish I knew what she has been trying to say to us. Sometimes, I would stop her halfway and tell her I had absolutely no idea what she was saying. And she would ignore me and carry on.





To make the painting more interesting, I let Sophie paint with a feather. It was not too great because the feather got stuck together and she ended up "whipping" with paint onto the letter. Anyhow, it still went on rather smoothly.


I let Sophie apply glitter glue and painted the "ink bottle". I thought it would look more realistic if I added it in. And of course, some ink on the tip of the quill...
