#i work at daycare

[punkbutsoft]

I’ve started to teach kids to knit 🧶.

Sorry if format is weird, I’m typing this on my phone.

So, context; I work at a Daycare that provides Before and After School programing. Basically from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and than from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm there are children at the Daycare.

On Snow days and P.A. Days however, parents still work so the kids come to us and we take care of them until parents get off work.

The older kids at the building (9-12 years) were learning how to finger knit, which is something I don’t know how to do.

So, some of the kids (6-7 years) in my class, asked to learn, I told them I don’t know how but, I can show them how to knit with needles instead.

I didn’t really think the kids would remember but, I still brought my knitting supplies. Wouldn’t you know it but;

A brother and sister learned and then brought it home as a family activity

One of my most aggressive kids finds it very calming, he now has a scarf of his own

And 2 girls share a knitting project going back and forth working on it when the others hands get tired

In total 15 have at least tried to knit and 7/15 kids love to knit with me in the morning and afternoon. And 6/15 of those kids aren’t from my class. They saw the 6-7 year olds knitting, wanted to try, and some of them really like it.

They also have the greatest reasons to knit as well! Here’s a list of reasons to learn how to knit, as told to me for children aged 6-12:

I wanted to knit my grandma something b/c she made me something

B/c my sister/brother is learning

B/c you’re teaching

I want my own scarf

I want to make myself a blanket

I want to make my sister a blanket for her stuffie

B/c you make it look fun

So I can make my own clothes

I love being working with kids man 💜

a little something i did a month or two ago and forgot to post

the little context I had of this was that y/n found this random sun plush and informed sun about their discovery. At first sun (and moon) were okay with it but then y/n gave the plush more attention than them so they got jealous lol

Y/N was a little too honest smh

Dont worry they got cuddles later

Biting

A few things lmao. I've been experimenting with my design for the DCA again so forgive me if Sun's rays are inconsistent compared to the prior art but I think this is how I wanna keep his rays at when drawing. And uhhh I used C9!Y/N for this because. reasons also bc I kinda missed drawing 'em...

O h gosh I haven't brought up C9 in a while so uh for ppl who are from DCA fandom that weren't following my blog around the end of 2022 and dunno what this is-- this was my very first default au, you can learn more abt it through the cloud nine tag below or through My Masterlist of AUS for the DCA

These were all of the background work for my part of the DCA MAP project I was a part of!

Backgrounds for @just-a-drawing-bean 's part

Backgrounds for @piixelpaint 's part

And for @cookiiemancer 's part!

Big thank you again to @ohno-the-sun for letting me participate in this and help out! Watch the full MAP here Watch my part + behind the scenes here

Process is down below for a few of the backgrounds

[crow-n-tell]

Why is it that scratches, cracks and divots are so much fun? They are so simple to do but whenever I add them to a background i immediately feel like I’ve peaked as an artist

Anyway, some moodlighting and perspective practice with future tiding over stuff
