Similes

In our cleaning frenzy, we came across November's 30 day project. Wondering what that is? Well, starting in August, each month the girls did a project that was something they had to do every day all month. In August, they did a journal entry a day. In September, they did a photo a day. In October, they did a sketch a day (I think we may have posted some of these). In November, they did a simile a day. We took December off. In January, they have been working on a poem a day. So, here are some of the best of the girls' similes from November.

10. The water was as still as glass.
11. Her legs were blotchy like a leopard.
12. The television was a like a magnet.
13. When she squinted, her eyes were like peepholes.
14. Her head spun around like a twister.
15. The array of food made her drool like a bulldog.
16. She was more delicate than a flower.
17. Her lips were red like a fire engine.
18. The clock ticked like a bomb.
19. The paint spread like melting snow.
20. The assignment was as dull as a rainy day.
