hich are suited for drawing, painting, or
crayon-sketching. He loves to represent the animals he sees every day;
and the art work should direct this impulse and show him how to do it
so that he may draw or cut out a dog, a cat, a sheep, or a goat; or
simple objects, as a broom, a barrel, a box, a table, and a chair.
_The Bremen Town_ _Musicians_, while offering a fine opportunity for
dramatization, also might stimulate the child to cut out the
silhouettes of the Donkey, the Dog, the Cat, and the Cock, to draw the
window of the cottage and to place the animals one on top of another,
looking in the window. The beautiful picture-books illustrating his
fairy tales, which the child may see, will give him many ideas of
drawing and sketching, and help him to arrange his silhouettes. A
recent primer, _The Pantomime Primer_, will give the child new ideas
in silhouettes. Recent articles in the _Kindergarten Review_ will give
the teacher many helpful suggestions along the line of expression. In
the May number, 1915, in _Illustrated Stories_, the story of "Ludwig
and Marleen," by Jane Hoxie, is shown as a child might illustrate it
with paper-cutting.--A class of children were seen very pleasantly
intent on cutting out of paper a basket filled with lovely tinted
flowers. But how attractive that same work would have become if the
basket had been Red Riding Hood's basket and they were being helped by
an art-teacher to show peeping out of her basket the cake and pot of
butter, with the nosegay tucked in one end. A very practical problem
in paper-cutting would arise in any room when children desire to make
a frieze to decorate the front wall. _The Old Woman and her Pig, The
Country Mouse and the City Mouse, The Little Red Hen, The Story of
Three Pigs, The Story of Three Bears_, and _Little Top-Knot_, would be
admirably adapted for simple work.

(b) _The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean_ is most likely to stir the
child's impulse to _draw_. Leslie Brooke's illustration in _The House
in the Wood_ might aid a child who wanted to put some fun into his
representation. _Birdie and Lena_ or _Fundevogel_, is a story that
naturally would seek illustration. Three _crayon-sketches_, one of a
rosebush and a rose, a second of a church and a steeple, and a third
of a pond and a duck, would be enough to suggest the tale.

(c) The Story of _The Wolf and Seven Kids_, if told with the proper
emphasis on the climax of triumph and conclusion of joy, would le
