• The Soggy Grey Paper: Why Your Child’s Art is More than Meets the Eye
    Nov 1 2024

    Ever stared at your child’s latest creation—a soggy, glitter-strewn, grey-ish masterpiece—and wondered what it all means?


    In this episode, we’re diving deep into why these seemingly messy, imperfect artworks are bursting with potential. We’ll explore what lessons lie within these free-spirited creations and why it’s essential for mini-artists to have a safe space for experimentation without the worry of “right” or “wrong.”


    Join us as we discuss how embracing the process of play, discovery, and a bit of creative chaos can help children grow into resilient, lateral thinkers, and bold problem-solvers.


    We’ll discuss how to foster this exploratory spirit in your little ones, and show that sometimes, it’s the soggy, grey-brown art pieces that hold the greatest lessons.
