Scribble Art Rainbow Fish

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 1 Comment

I love tying things into art and math.  The two go together like peanut butter and jelly, like milk and cookies, like spaghetti and meatballs.

This month’s Virtual Book Club for kids is The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.  This book stands out initially because of the beautiful foil stamping throughout every page. But the message of this simple story is what it’s all about – a beautiful fish who learns that beyond his own vanity, friendships are more important.

Today we’re touching on shapes & simple scribble art – A Scribble Art Rainbow Fish to be exact!





We started off with simple process art (the “process” of making art rather than trying to make an end result look a certain way).  There’s just something about scribbling to your hearts content, there’s no right or wrong way.

As we finished with the scribbling, our completed process art suddenly gained a second life – as a deconstructed fishy using different shapes.  The kiddos cut into the center of each scribble art and constructed each fish using rectangles for bones and triangles for the head and tail.

Once completed these are absolutely fantastic in a frame!  The kiddos used a glue stick to attach the pieces to a colored page of their choosing.  They both picked paper color based upon the colors they used, but I think they look great attached to a black background too – the colors really pop this way.

Here’s how we made it:

SCRIBBLE ART RAINBOW FISH

The supplies:

  • marker paper
  • markers (we used both sharpies & the kids markers – the sharpies lent brighter results)
  • scissors
  • glue stick

The how-to:

Scribble, cut, glue!

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
The depth & complexity of a middle schooler. 🧐🤔💭

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
