Anyway these little guys inspired me to come up with a story and puppet show for Ryan.
HERE IS THE PUPPET SHOW OF THE "RAINBOW GNOMES" IN PHOTOS:
(this is the short version)
The story start of with the earth gnomes working hard beneath the earth mining crystals. One day they decide that they would like to see what the world looks like above ground.
So they go to see the Gnome King and ask for his permission to travel above the Earth.
The Gnome King calls on the Fairy Queen to come and help his little gnomes.
THe Fairy Queen uses her magic and the Earth gnomes become the Rainbow Gnomes. They are so happy with their new job as rainbow gnomes they decide to stay and harvest the colors for the rainbow.
Below is a picture of the puppet show after the story was over. I started off with the rainbow side covered up with silk and then uncovered the rainbow world when the fairy queen waved her magic wand. It must of inspired Ryan because afterwards he told his own story for about 20 minutes.
We then worked on some block crayon drawings. I have been trying to keep our drawings simple since I found Ryan was getting frustrated trying to draw what I was drawing. I have never told him he needs to draw like me, but he felt he needed to. So I have been keeping my shapes simple for now.
