I then asked Aoife to draw anything she liked. We had just returned from Hawaii a few weeks earlier where we had seen a lot of humpback whales and they were all she talked about, so it wasn't much of a surprise when she decided to draw a humpback whale, which turned out fantastic.
Of course I couldn't leave my youngest, Ciara (2 years old), out of this fun art time. Ciara wanted to trace her hand and colour with scented markers.
It is very important to remember when teaching young children while their art may not look eye appealing to you, it is still art. Every child should have a piece of art hanging in the classroom, not just the artistically talented.
