I think the worst thing parents do (and I've done it myself) when a child suggests an idea is to say 'That won't work', because they mostly have more imagination than adults and can often develop and modify the idea into something that satisfies them or is even brilliant. And it's essential to learn by mistakes/discovery. When my children were small and I worked from home, they used everything I had in my studio, including very sharp scalpels (bad neglectful Daddy) - but they never injured themselves. My son enjoyed making papier mache models of book and cartoon characters. He's 26 now, and his 'Hagar the Horrible' still sits in my studio.<br />Peter Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653515054036432820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12090056.post-14797038855971264952014-11-17T00:02:37.539-08:002014-11-17T00:02:37.539-08:00What a lovely, clean looking blog.
