Lot of drawing has been done by the chlidren in the begining are like this only. These type of activities make children more creative and help them in seeing the thing in a logical manner.

Cute post, but most intriguing is HOW DIFFERENT the drawings are! Seriously, I have identical (ha!) twin girls that are 25 months and Jaeda draws huge circles like Elsa, and Tristyn draws teeny tiny up and down scribbles (similar to Clio's but much smaller). I just find the whole twin thing fascinating, I guess. :-)

Creative post in more ways than one! haha

If I wanted to show you my boys artwork, you would have to come look at my wall. Eric refuses to draw on anything but the wall. He loves going to town on it though. Since it washes off with Windex, I let him but try to keep in confined to one spot. He does mostly just straight up and down lines in various colors overlapping one another. I think it kinda looks pretty. :P

Harrison on the other hand, goes side to side with continuous strokes of the crayon never being lifted up. My father found it super amusing that one goes side to side, while the other goes up and down. Twins huh? :)

Hmmm... I wonder what Dr. Repor would say about my girls' art work. At this stage it's mostly lines and dots. :P Anya especially makes lots of dots.

It is interesting how there is a definite difference between the their drawings. I remember back in college taking a class in developmental psychology and one of the books I had to read was about children's drawings. Don't ask me much about it though, that was awhile ago. Besides, I wouldn't dare challenge the professional opinion of Dr. Repor.

As for my child, his artwork varies between greatness and recycle bin. One of his first pictures brought home from school was a light-blue blob that looked a lot like a Hershey's kiss. Poignant, yet hunger-inducing.

I majored (well, almost, wound up getting my actual degree in something else) in art history in college, and this was hysterically spot-on.

LOL! I'm not gonna lie, I was all, "Oh god, now it's toddler art?!"

But then, a minute too late, I figured out Enaj Repor, and I just about busted my gut laughing. Well done hilarious post. Sadly I have no children and thus no children's art for Ms. Repor to analyze, but I appreciate the skill she exhibited in interpreting your kids.
