So what you need to do to challenge her to read: get a small book with NO illustrations — and dare her to make proper pictures to accompany it…

She has talent - and she is developing a good eye - that being so encourage her to draw what she sees around her - the sleeping cat, the chickens - the moose. I have a book on drawing horses that maybe she could use. Most of it would be a bit steep for her but there are parts that would help her to see what a horse is and how it moves. I’d be glad to send to her. Just let me know.

Wow, that is really incredible. My kid is about the same age as the Dotter, and art is, admittedly, definitely not her talent, but there’s no way she could draw that. Heck, I couldn’t!

Those are FANTASTIC! Such a talent, and I love how you describe her dedication and and love (aka compulsion) to CREATE. So amazing. And just like my little almost 8 year old!!

Holy moly! She is talented! Can you find art classes anywhere in the community? I’d definitely look into it.

Thanks for the thumbs up, dotter, but the reason my critters were, well, psychodelic is that I could no more draw a lifelike horse than…. As for the granddotter, well, creatively she is absolutely something else. Those picture copies are just great!
