Hi, just visiting from a comment over at my place, looks like you guys are doing Ambleside? We did TCOO 2 years ago.

thanks for visiting, it's nice to meet a another homeschooler.

Hi Rhonda,

We used:
Chinese Brush Animals (Walter Foster)
ISBN 1560108452

I purchased it from Amazon.com

There are paints, ink, three brushes, paper, and a book to complete a whole bunch of projects. You might need to add a bit of paper but we really enjoyed this activity.

Hope that helps,
