A dragon, a bear and a cowboy

Tovrea likes to draw and he has an amazing sense for color.  I find his art is so vivid and I am always impressed with the what he chooses to put together.

He had absolutely zero interest in arts and crafts in preschool. He was always attracted to the building of blocks, imagination play with costumes, and rough housing with the boys. In kindergarten last year, I put him in an after school art class and he loved it. He would come home with great big smiles and would proudly hand over a painting.  Finding a talent is rewarding and can be a great confidence builder.


It can be overwhelming as a parent wondering what activities will be right for a child.  It is great to have an array of activity choices- sports, music, art, science, languages...the list could go on.  Sometimes I feel like we throw the activity puzzle pieces in the air and see what pieces land in our hands.  Fortunately, the "art" piece was a perfect fit!
