She said...
"I could never do that, I am not creative like you"
(and I cringed)
because...
it is impossible to support the learning and creative development
of young children if you cannot see the value of your own
So I decided to show them
and began with two prompts...
What will you paint on?
What will you paint with?
allowing the group to explore
their creative range
proving once again that
we are ALL creative
(each in our own way)
and we should never
confuse
compare
choose
someone else's gifts and talents
over
our
own
