Art Show and a Fairy House

Here are R's entries into Tuesday's Art Show at school. This is called "Little House with Bed and Couch." She left off half the roof so she could play with the furniture inside the house.
This is "Moonlight Howl." Media: Crayon on Paper. She asked Santa for a standing easel with a big roll of paper and acrylic paints and pastels, but she mostly likes to use crayons on typing paper and work at her desk. On Thursday she brought home this box of sand and sugar, left over from their Native American projects at school. This is not even her group's project. She said "The other kids said their moms were just going to throw it out, so I said I would take it home." Now I really can't throw it out, for a while anyway, because she built an elaborate fairy house in it after school. She is pointing to an ivy leaf umbrella over the patio. Next to that is the "vineyard" with dusty miller vines and grape muscari grapes. The rocks with the bark roof in the upper left are the "sleeping quarters." There is a little pool with a bark ladder and slide, and in the foreground is the garden, "planted with seeds."
