Queen Bee and the Dragon

Sometimes when I lay out crafting supplies I am so happily surprised to see where they take us...

Dino Boy started by drawing a spiral...

'like a snail'

Then the colourful crepe paper seemed to say to him... we are flowers

While the glue became pollen...

I watch his creativity unfold in front of me and it is incredible... 

...full of small details and intention {and always lots of glue}

With flowers and pollen what else do you need, he seemed to think...

'bees! can we make bees?'

'the bees are getting the pollen...'

I stepped back some more and saw him create a whole little world...

...complete with a whimsical door, gnome and dragon!

And while I sat sipping my cup of tea he weaved a story...

One day a gnome was walking in the garden

The worker bees were busy working...

...collecting nectar

Then the weather changed

A dragon chased the Queen Bee

It caught her and hurt her wing 

The Queen Bee fell... Bzzz bzzzz

Then the dragon fell... landing on prickly bushes...

Lots of dramatic flair *smile*

And a happy little sister watching, listening...

and decorated?!

Happy days, Kelly
