Drawing Flowers
Episode # 136. Pencil Sharpener
In a thin, rectangular-shaped box, the children give the Storypeople a very large drawing pad, pencil, and flower. Grandpappa wants to draw a picture of the flower, but the point on the pencil breaks. The children give him a pencil sharpener. How does it work? And will his pencil remain long enough to finish his drawing?

Directions
Fold your paper in half. On each side of the fold, draw pictures of flowers (or finger paint or stamp or whatever art form your child enjoys). Try copying some real flowers and making up your own varieties. Use the fold to stand the paper up in the middle of your table as a centerpiece.

Talk About It
While viewing the Pencil Sharpener episode, you might start a conversation by asking your child: "What would you draw on the pad?"

As you talk about the things on screen, you can help expand your child's vocabulary by alternating the words you use with their synonyms. In the Pencil Sharpener episode you might describe the part of the pencil that breaks as the point or the tip.
