Staying Connected Across The Miles


Living many miles away from my grand babies is hard for me.
I seek different ways of staying in touch
and one of them is
to draw little scenes that I think will tickle a
three year old's fancy
and drop them in the mail.


This week I tried to draw one of her many
book characters
the Gruffalo!


 and two of his woodland friends.


 She likes pictures of things she does.


Then, when she gets them, she colours them in.
This one obviously arrived just in time
for a Maple Leafs game.
Big fans in that family!

A collaboration between generations!

  5. What a great thing! I can still remember how excited I would get when something would come for me in the mail (well I still do, but that's another story). I've sent little colouring books in the mail to our 3 year old 'grand' and will start sending things out to our littler one when he's a bit older.
