After a few hours, I went over and got my grandson. We headed to the toy dept. at Target and made a few purchases...just for the fun of it! One of them was 3D Chalk!! Aren't these glasses cute...he kinda looks like a whacky scientist!
We came home and began to draw a few things to see if it was really gonna work...and it REALLY DID! I wanted to see if the camera could pick it up, but then I realized with 3D glasses you have to use both eyes and look through both sides of the glasses...so the camera idea would not work.

It was really cool though...and each color looked like it was either carved down into the ground, or floating above the ground...each at a different level. We had a great time with it...and just as we were finishing up, I said Donovan...do you know how to draw a cactus? He said "yes" and drew this simple line drawing...he did dot around inside also...but you can't see that...I thought it was so cute...I knew at that moment I had my Cactus Monday post!
Having my grandson for the day, and the perfect cool, dry, sunny and beautiful blue sky with crisp white clouds all day as almost too much to take...it was devine!
