[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just draw or paint together— if your child asks for tips, give them (or like “how did you do that?”); otherwise, let them just explore with color/shapes/etc. teaching small kids that there is a “right” way to make art seems likely to backfire. If she asks how to draw a cat, show her. Otherwise, enjoy her art for what it is![/quote] This is where I would start as well. Some kids don't respond super well to being taught by their parents. My DS loves soccer, and when I try to show him how to kick better or whatever, he immediately wants to stop playing. I've just given up. I figure he'll learn by watching me when we play together.[/quote]
