Having fun with Chalk// Brincando Com Giz


 As I was coming out of target a few days ago I quickly glanced through the dollar section for "treasures" and found a set of colorful crayola sidewalk chalk. So far, Zuri doesn't seem to be too much into crayons or pencils, he uses them to bang on the table and make noise as much as anything, so I wasn't sure how he was going to like these. Turns out I hit the jackpot! He absolutely loved them!!!!

Quando eu estava saindo da loja "Target" alguns dias atrás eu dei uma olhada rapida pela seção de $1 para ver se achava algum "tesouro" e encontrei um caixa de giz colorido da crayola. Até agora, Zuri não parece se interessar muito por giz de cera ou lápis de cor. Na maioria das vezes, ele usa esses materiais para bater na mesa e fazer barulho. Então, eu não fazia a minima ideia de qal seria a reacao dele com o giz. Dessa vez eu acertei em cheio! Ele simplesmente amou!




After our early morning walk a few days ago, I got the pack of chalk and decided we were going to give it a try. I placed some foam boards on the cement in front of the garage, sat down, and started coloring with him. The boy loved it! He wanted to try all the colors on the different surfaces (the cement, the foam boards, his clothes, my clothes...) I think he was also excited about being able to walk barefoot outside on the cement and grass. These pictures are actually from our second adventure with the chalk. This time it was daddy who was there with him in the morning after their walk.

Depois da nossa caminhada matutina alguns dias atrás, eu peguei o pacote de giz e decidi experimentá-los. Coloquei algumas placas de espuma no cimento em frente à garagem, sentei e começei a colorir com ele. O menino adorou! Ele queria experimentar todas as cores em diferentes superfícies (o cimento, as placas de espuma, a roupa dele, minha roupa...) Eu acho que ele tambem estava empolgado com o fato de que ele estava andando descalço do lado de fora, no cimento e grama. Na verdade, essas fotos são de nossa segunda aventura com o giz. Desta vez, foi papai que estava lá com ele de manhã após caminhada.




We played for a good 40 minutes and both times when we told him it was time to go inside he cried. It was sad to have to bring him in since he was having so much fun but the sun was getting hotter (yes too hot at 8:45 am...it is summer in the Valley) and it was almost time for his nap. I am glad we found something that he really enjoys. I am looking forward to many sidewalk chalk adventures!

Nos brincamos por uns 40 minutos e a mbas as vezes quando lhe dissemos que era hora de entrar, ele chorou. Foi triste ter que entrar já que ele estava se divertindo tanto, mas o sol estava ficando mais quente (sim, muito quente as 8:45 ... é verão no Vale) e ja estava quase na hora do seu cochilo. Fico feliz que encontramos algo que ele realmente gosta. Estou ansiosa por muitas aventuras riscando a calçada de giz!
