It's come to my attention that a lot of our time is spent gluing and sticking and painting and splashing. If our kids were doing this everyday at school I think I'd be hacked off. I'm pretty sure its because art activities are low on everyone's agenda. Maybe its because maths, English and science are what we should all be good at? I'm not good at any of those. I'm the first to admit I still don't get my times table. It's currently stuck on our dining room wall and I still don't get it! Art though, I totally get. It's in my blood. It's what I love, really love. The minute we had kids that were old enough to hold a pen, they got felt tips, crayons, paints...all they could need. I've pretty much let them get on with it too and just look what they can do....
My nearly four year old can draw really cool stuff! I keep hiding them away like a squirrel. I don't want them to get thrown out in the recycling. These days are too precious. The days when we just splash paint. The days when we still learn. Our creative souls are expanding instead of being crushed by too much math!
