My mom-in-law sent a Valentine’s package to us — including Will’s first crayons and drawing pads! Will and I instantly opened them and went to work. We made our first drawing together! Granted, Will’s primary interest was in taking the crayons in and out of the package (and shaking the package to hear the crayons inside) but he hooted away contently while I showed him each color (“This is GREEN… frogs are green, grass is green, lettuce is green…”) and then gave it to him to press to the paper. Without guidance beyond me giving him the crayon, he made some decent spots and streaks of color on the paper — and had clear preference for purple and orange as the crayon colors of choice.
