    Wow, I totally forgot I had made thumb-print bugs (or was it flowers..) when I was in preschool or kindergarden! Those were the days :)

    “If you want it to come out nice you should listen to this woman.” What children make is not like what adults make. And it is still nice. No wonder children loose their creativity by the time they are in high school. They’ve learnt that being creative is one thing & producing something ‘nice’, is something different. Message: creativity is not ‘nice’. And you wouldn’t let them ruin a nice frame with their creativity! “Just let them fingerpaint on a blank piece of paper.” A terrifying comment!

    @lourdesdevio i totally agree with you. Some people just don’t have lives and waste their times posting negative comments. If you want to comment PLEASE say something good!

    @cece12419999 again this craft is made so your picture frame can come out NICE. I understand kids need to express themselves but if you want it to come out nice you should listen to this woman. If you want kids to express themselves then this craft wouldn’t be for that. So if you want them to express themselves let them just fingerpaint on a blank piece of paper. Okay? So did I really need to waste my time explaining this to you? I just wasted about 2 mins of my life. Thank you very much!

    Of course, it also is good to show children a few ideas to work off of. it depends if you are working with one child or a whole class, and time limits. Thanks for the video.

    from an art educators point of view, i feel like this is a terrible project for children. It takes away any creative freedom for the child. This women obviously doesn’t understand how young creative minds think. Art is not only to be viewed as cutesy gifts, but as a way for a child to tap into their feelings and express their views of the world. This video is showing you how to brainwash your young mind into thinking that they NEED to making everything perfect and in the lines.
