First Humans continued

I made a cave out of a large box (thanks Olson appliance) and crumpled brown paper and Link loved it.  Today he made mud paint, mixing mud  and "blood" and trying out different types of brushes.  For this kind of paint the harder the brush the better it worked.  He liked the feather and the stick the most.  

He made some petroglyphs in the cave.  It is so funny to see how much he doesn't like to get dirty.  Not sure he would have survived.  

I also let him use a marker so he could better tell his story. He drew a cave girl similar to his Lego one with a bone in her hair.  And he put a seed in her belly which he told me was grandma rose.  So basically cave people are about 90 years old.  

We also looked at random facts about cave people and discovered they talked by making clicking noises and that they ate sweet potatoes, so we had sweet potatoes for dessert.
