What's in a picture?

Today we all painted our own pictures..
Then we took turns choosing one, and telling a story about the picture..
One person would start it, then pass the picture on for the next person to add to the story...and then on to the next, until everyone had a turn to add something.


First, we have the story of an angel who lived in this lovely green house. She would walk down the driveway to the candy land across the street. She would visit it every day. After a while a new family moved in to the house and the angel would watch over them...and then she would get the mail (see mailbox next to house)


Then we have the story of a little girl and a magical carrot which, when bitten, would turn the forest into a magical candy forest (we do love our candy). In this forest, there was an ice cream tree, candy bar tree, hershey's kiss tree, licorice tree, gum drop, and gummy worm tree... and she could eat as much as she wanted and it wouldn't make her sick or give her cavities. After a while the magic would go away. Nobody at school believed the girl's stories about the magical forest...until everyone got a little bite of the carrot themselves.


This picture told a story of a queen's magic mirrors that answered questions about the future. She used these mirrors to shrink all of the princesses that would've been queens one day.....and they all worked together (with the help of the magic potion) to 'get' the queen and put her into jail.


And finally the story of the magic beans...and the snake who was looking all over for the fallen star. He looked under a rock and was given the power to see everyone in the world. He saw the good people and the bad people. Then he was given a magic wand to do good things for the good people and make all of the bad people become slaves with no homes.

:)

The End.

Let me know what your kids come up with :)
