A New Take on Doodles

So, I didn't think this blog would see any updates until school was back in session (which currently won't be any sooner than April 24). Then, the wonderful Mo Willems started posting daily doodling videos for kids. The boy and I watch Mo every day. We're racking up an impressive stack of doodles. I decided today that I could share them here, and keep Mamadoodles alive, since I'm still doodling, just on different paper :)

We've already done two weeks' worth of videos, so here's a bunch of pictures for you.

Day 1: March 16: Mo teaches up to draw Pigeon. Oskar's new obsession with my laminating machine leads to one laminated pigeon to withstand the test of time.

Day 2: March 17:  We made a doodle with the letter F and learned how to draw Gerald. Mo also asked us to make our own elephant and piggie books. More to come on that later, as the boy and I each began our own story!

Day 3: March 18: We learn to draw Piggie! We also made organic jelly bean shapes and then had to turn them into something.

March 19: We drew impossible houses and made puppets out of toilet paper rolls. Is mine a dragon? A green horse? No one knows, but I love him!

March 20: We begin making doodles out of numbers. We make a board for Mo's game called SuperBounce. Board games not pictured here, and wrongly picturing Oskar's art from 3/23 because I fail at photos.

March 23: Oskar's 'Little Chef' picture actually belongs here.We learn to draw Cat the Cat and a pet we wish we could have. 

March 24: More number doodles and Naked Mole Rat. Bonus meatball meteor drawn while Mo was talking. We also drew some fun clothes.

March 25: Bonus host Dan Santat taught us draw his character Beekle? (I think) and taught us to use simple shapes to make different foods. 

                                     

March 26: More fun with number doodles. Also we learn to draw Leonardo, a monster. We make monsters using simple shapes.

March 27: SuperBounce Take 2! We played with Lin Manuel Miranda and Mo, and then made our own game boards and played with just us.

Here's hoping Mo continues to make these videos while this whole social distancing thing persists. We'll keep watching and doodling as long as the videos keep coming!
