Tonight's art time was with markers and aluminum foil. This comes out pretty, and it was fun to watch. Then Ladybug started playing in the bucket of soapy water, and I idly doodled a flower on the foil. Well, that was a mistake! Bug flipped out because she wanted to draw a flower and she can only make scribbles. This was a source of intense frustration. She kept trying valiantly, then insisted that I hold her hand and guide her in drawing a flower. So I did, but the frustration was not over.The art book I'm using did mention not to create samples for children to imitate. And to just sit back and watch their process. I was on board with all of this! Guess I will remember to stay out of her process!
