KIDS SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 8

Artist: Lincoln, age 3

In this sketchbook challenge, we are drawing/ painting/ creating based off a new theme each week.  This week we focused on FAVORITE SONG.  Recently this has been my son's favorite favorite past time.  He sits on the couch and listens to CD's, following along with the liner notes.  Because of the sheer volume of music he's been listening to, and my reluctance to hear the same songs over and over again, this new phase had me going bonkers.  But then I re-discovered Spotify!  Although, of course, I had listened to my own music on it- I never thought of it for kids music.  I'm letting the secret out: it is a treasure trove of children's music, everything from Wee Sing Fingerplays to They Might Be Giants.  My son is in heaven and I don't have to bash my head against the wall with the 70th re-listening of Music Together.  For this challenge, Lincoln chose a song by Raffi called "Baby Beluga" which is about a whale.  He even drew a picture of the play button on the computer to exemplify that this is a 'song' not just a 'picture'.  Next week, let's illustrate our FAVORITE CANDY.
