Charlotte's Web

We started listening to Charlotte's Web on audio book yesterday and finished it up today.  I found a chalk pastel tutorial from Nana over on Hodge Podge (click link, scroll down - the tutorial was a Facebook live but is still saved on her event).

As I type, the children are having a snack and watching the original Charlotte's Web DVD (though I want to show them the newer one with Dakota Fanning in it, too, at some time). 

Their art turned out adorable!

Xavier, age 9

Natalee, age 10

Ameliya, age 5
(she did everything except writing her word)

Mommy took a try, too.

We find it difficult to have good enough control over our chalk pastels for writing, so, to reduce frustration, I had the children use their pencils to put in the word, web, and Charlotte and then most of us chose to trace those portions with our fine point Sharpie.
