Xx is for xylophone

Materials:  paper, watercolors, pencil, water, brushes


1.  While listening to Pandora (a mix of classical piano, Florence and the Machine, She & Him and more) we created these xylophones.  Afterward, we checked out xylophone performances on YouTube.  Here's one of our favorites: Mario Brothers Music

2.  We looked at images of xylophones online and started drawing with pencil.

3.  Then used watercolors to paint.

She & Him

Zooey Deschanel is one of the cutest, silliest, and loveliest actresses out there.  I first fell in love with her in the Bridge To Terabithia movie... she played the super cool music teacher.  And, later in Yes Man.  I've wanted to join a jogging photography group ever since.  LOL!  :)  Now she plays the leading role, Jess, in "New Girl".  It's hilarious!!  While catching the show I came across her bands website, She & Him.  So much fun!  I had to share.  If you have time check this fun video below of her band and try your best to catch New Girl.
