Speedy Weedy and Mosey Dawdle's last Day on the Blackboard

Elizabeth Erb of Azalia Mountain School in Asheville, North Carolina has been reading the seven 'saws' from The Seven Saws of Speedy Weedy and Mosey Dawdle to her second grade children.

She writes: "Today is the last day for the chalkboard drawing. Such sadness in the room. The children gathered round to say farewell to all of the characters. They named the lizard from the first race: Wizard Lizard!"

Goodbye Speedy Weedy Hare, Mosey Dawdle Tortoise, Roger Dodger Racoon, Hungry Coyote, Wizard Lizard and everyone else ... not forgetting the famous "yonder tree" ... nor the little pig standing on the cliff's edge!

Speedy Weedy and Mosey Dawdle in the Classroom

A wonderful blackboard drawing of the characters from The Seven Saws of Speedy Weedy and Mosey Dawdle. We can see Speedy Weedy Hare, Mosey Dawdle Tortoise, Roger Dodger Racoon, Hungry Coyote and of course the "yonder tree".

Thank you Elizabeth Erb of Azalia Mountain School in Asheville, North Carolina.

Phoenix of the Philippines

A lovely Tiptoes and friends drawing I received from a young lady called Phoenix who lives in the Philippines. Thank you, Phoenix!

An Alphabet cake!

Susan Forrester just finished reading The Alphabet, and by the end of the book her daughter was reading by herself. So they made an XYZ Celebration Cake, just like the one in the book. Yea! Looks yummy!

Love in the Suburbs

Sara of Love in the Suburbs did a neat wooden Easter egg paintings with Tiptoes and the Great Oak Tree. Go check out what she's been up to!

We Bloom Here

Here's a sweet blog, We Bloom Here, about making Tiptoes Lightly and Jeremy Mouse peg dolls. Enjoy!

Puppetry

Check out my puppetry page for shots of various shows. Here is a shot from an event at Live Oak Waldorf School in Auburn, California. As you can see, Pine Cone and Pepper Pot came disguised as two grown-up human beings pretending to be Pine Cone and Pepper Pot (how devious is that!!!). One of them even went so far as pretending to be a woman! They almost had us fooled but you can tell by their cheeky looks that they are really gnomes.
