Braden drew a Jack - in the - Box...... It is one of the reasons I love his school so much. They teach them to draw with this little book of 4-6 steps for each picture. This was a kid who only did dots and (what I call) tornadoes until now! A Jack- in the Box!
The other picture (I guess to others) was not very obvious either. It was late at night and I was reading a friends blog about the limited number of toys that reflect children of color. She mentioned playmobile as being a company that doesn't produce ANY people of color... not even a Token.... I went to the website thinking I could call a bluff.... but she was right. In all of the various "scenes" : doctor, hospital, construction worker, vet, family etc.... not one person of color. The picture you see is their "variety pack"(add on sets)... I really don't see much variety at all.... I mean really - even here in Abilene when I walk through the mall.... its not all one color...
