IllustrationFriday topic: "Wilderness"

TheSquirrel is 5 years old...
After explaining that a wilderness is a wild place, and can be considered a desert or a forest, she chose to draw a forest scene.
What is in the forest?
"A bear." What is he doing? "Walking." To where? "To a tree." Why? "He is going to climb it." For what? "To get honey."
[After TheSquirrel drew two good pine trees, together we used the computer to duplicate them, to make a forest.]

Please view her previous post, for the word "confined,"--my favorite yet, definitely!!

IllustrationFriday topic: "Confined"

You've got to read the back-story to this one! (below)

TheSquirrel is 5 years old...
She told me the other day that an alien hides under her bed.
Playfully, I just responded "I don't know how he can fit under there with all the games!"
Without skipping a beat, she surprised me by replying that:
"He can fit under there because a special vacuum sucks all the air out of the alien and makes him so flat."
[lol]
She continued, "and I know just what the vacuum looks like-- I'm going to draw it for you."
TheSquirrel drew on her chalkboard the flattened alien and his vacuum.
Her most inventive design yet. :)
I put her drawing over a photo of the alien's living quarters.
