3 Month Photo Shoot

Each month we are doing a mini photo shoot for Baby Dragon.

Our overall goal is DND themed each month because, well, we are nerds.

We also update her character sheet each month with what she has learned or achieved that month.

Month 3 we focused on character, Fey

I really enjoyed this photo shoot. Dressing up my Baby Dragon and setting the scene for her to be a little baby fey!

I put her in a tutu with little green bloomers and used a large headband for her top.

And a darling golden leaf headband to top of the nature look I was going for.

I attempted to do this shoot outside but it failed. I was alone and with an infant. It would take multiple people to pull that off, I think.

But thats alright because I took the shoot inside and got some good shots!

And had some of them edited because lighting was off and I wanted her to look fey like

I think it was successful!

Daddy helped this time and I was able to get some good cuddle shots too!

But I wasn't completely satisfied with the shots I had so I redid the setup to see if I could get some better shots.

I tried some reflections shots, they turned out alright...

Then we tried some standing poses

I really like the way these turned out, I just didn't get the background perfect.

Then we sat her down and got some darling pictures

but again the background wasn't all I wanted it to be.

So I had a couple edited

Overall I am very happy with the results.

This took longer because of editing but they are beautiful memories and pictures that will last forever!

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used: Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate. While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks. Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces. Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom. They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly. I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint. The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into. Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad. Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting! The squirting went on and on. I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue. Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them. With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used: Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets. I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back. I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too. Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet. One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
