What Do You See?
Yes! It’s another round of “What Do You See?,” brought to you by my daughter. I stole this homework out of her hands before her teacher could write “So pretty!” in big bright red marker on top. (Can anyone relate?)
So, what do you see?
Janet says
I see a girl in a dress, with a kitty and a cactus!
Leora says
Cactus? Now that's funny! (and I'll say no more now).
ramblingwoods says
A very well dressed girl or woman complete with jewelry and a shopping bag and a pet cat?
Leora says
Yup, that's a cat. And I do see her girl has jewelry.
G6 says
Wait, is it a rose?
I see thorns as a possible hovering bumblebee (with a rodent-like face ;) )....
Leora says
G6, good eye! (thorns and bumblebee)
Isn't it funny how she portrays a bumblebee's face like a rat? :-)
Something Different says
I am not going to venture a guess what that is, but this is making me very nostalgic about my days as a three-year-old counselor.
Leora says
Welcome to my blog. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Mottel says
A princess (What else would a little girls draw?) with a brown cat and a flower.
Leora says
I guess to her every little girl is a princess.
Ilana-Davita says
I seem to have more questions than answers:
- Why is the little girl headless?
- What is the "fot sop" sign? Foot stop?
- Is it a plant on the left?
Can't wait to read the solution?
Leora says
This was part of a writing assignment. The teacher gives the child sentences to read. Each sentence is an instruction on what to draw.
Ideally, she should read all the sentences and then do the drawing. But since my daughter struggles with reading, we just read one sentence at a time. The "Draw a little girl by the rose" sentence came late, so in order to keep proper scale, my daughter drew the head cut off.
Good tries on the sign, but you didn't get it. Yet.
G6 says
Oh, I got the sign right away.
"For Sale".
:)
Leora says
I'll bet you've read 6-year-old writing before.
Ilana-Davita says
A thorny rosebush for sale has just been bought by a little girl and her cat. It looks as if your daughter accompanies you to plant/green stores. But I'm positive you don't go with a cat.
Leora says
You basically got it. It's what the teacher told the children to draw via her sentences, not what happens in reality. A fun assignment.
Oh, I think you did miss one thing. G6 saw it (she's very astute in her children's drawing observations!).
Lorri says
She is such a princess, isn't she?! :)
Batya says
It looks like a fun shopping trip. There was a sale going on.
Leora says
Do you think she bought a rose with a thick stem and thorns and a brown cat that could stand on two legs? :-)

I still have every piece of art that my girls did as children (not those from coloring books or those that have macaroni on them) Can you believe it? I loved looking at them and trying to guess what they were saying. When really stuck you might look at them as dream symbols and see what the drawing is saying in that way.
Leora says
I think I would need a whole extra house if I saved every piece of art.
I do find children's art inspiring. More on that in upcoming posts.
The Jewish Side says
That was fun to look at the drawing and see what people had to say about it.
I was wondering about the nails, why are they different colors? their gloves?
and nice drawing, and I like this idea of how they get the girls to read sentences. I should try this on my little sister, maybe she would enjoy it.
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
