How cool to be an "artist in residence" of sorts to young children and see their drawings of smiling fish and use of all the colors. Nice combination of the print and a savory pancake, which would also be very kid friendly.

Yours is the second in non-traditional “artists in residence” I’ve recently learned of--the other being an illustrator who sketched daily from the Vancouver train/metro system. I love how this concept is being redefined. Also bookmarking this recipe for an upcoming girls’ weekend, in which we’re testing and sampling recipes in an AirB&B! We are on a crusade to redefine “girls’ getaway weekend.”

Let me know how they turn out, if you make them. And have fun!

Thanks Amy. I do think the corn pancakes are pretty kid-friendly. Maybe one of the teachers will make them with the children.

I love this window into kids’ art-making practice. I sometimes wish I could tap into that freeform creativity that seems to come so unself-consciously to the very young. Your classes sound like a lot of fun, Vicki! And Correadas with chili seems like a genius combo. I will have to give it a try!🌽

Thanks Ruth. I think as adults we are more creative to branch out in new areas than we give ourselves credit for.
