As part of Marlin’s Healthy Living program last week, he decorated a traced outline of himself after studying external body geography and learning to identify areas like; wrist, ankle, ear lobe, temple, sole, knuckle, palm etc. The lesson then goes on to compare animal and human bodies and we love this book (pictured at end) to accompany this lesson after a real life farm animal viewing to look at similarities between the two.
I was super impressed with his self directed decoration of this and the thought he put into the details. I also loved his perception of things. His hair is apparently ‘white’ and because his eyebrows are slightly darker than his hair he tells me they’re ‘black’ 😆 When he got to putting on his nose, he said “well, your nose actually starts up here near your forehead doesn’t it” so that’s where he drew it starting from 🥰 and his finger nails - they’re white because that’s the closest colour to ‘clear’ we had in a crayon, and those black tips - that’s the dirt under his nails 🤣 seriously - could this kid be ANY cuter!? 😍
