"Mrs. Paddington Ice Skating!"

Kids’ works of art were filled with gliding ice skates and glittering snowflakes this month. Interestingly, some young artists saw the drawing as a bear, while others considered it a cat. Eight-year-old Maya’s teddy danced through the season’s first snowfall under a turquoise sky. Elizah, 12, dressed up a Santa bear in a cherry-red suit, with pasted-on jewels for some extra flair. Five-year-old Blakely’s furry friend skated on blue ice, with a fluttering rainbow scarf trailing behind. Marvelous work, kids. We can’t wait to see your imaginative creations this month!
