Today Bobo and I did an art project using Millie's mighty math power! Bobo has been working on his drawing skills lately, and he has been especially interested in sea creatures like jelly fish, sea turtles, and octopuses, so we did an ocean scene.
We started out by choosing five tubes of paint that fit our theme. Bobo decided on the order that he liked, and we labeled them with numbers (1-5) in that order. Then, I helped Bobo draw lots of lines on a sheet of paper. I wish I had made them thicker! Bobo's paintbrush was too thick to fit within my lines comfortably, but we managed alright in the end. I numbered them from 1-5, like I had done with the paint:

| Getting started! |
Bobo began filling in all the '1' lines with paint from the first tube...
 |
| Filling in the '1's |
and all the '2's with paint from the second...
 |
| and the '2's |
until we had quite a pretty pattern of lines for the sea.
 |
| Nearly done! |
While it was drying, he drew the sea creatures. He decided on turtles - one big mama turtle and one teeny tiny baby turtle:

| Bobo's masterpiece |
I really love it! :)
