Making: Underwater Creatures with Watercolour

Here’s what Brie created the other day.

I drew the outlines with crayons, and Brie did the painting =)

The theme was ‘underwater creatures’.

One creature is in the open sea, but susceptible to danger from predators. The other creature is safe, but is confined to a small space.

‘Which situation would YOU prefer?’, I asked.

Brie said, ‘The fish bowl! I prefer to be safe! I don’t want to be eaten!’

Hehe.

Brie said, ‘The fish bowl! I prefer to be safe! I don’t want to be eaten!’Interestingly, I asked the two older ones, and they both said they’d choose to be in the open sea, free to swim anywhere. They’d hide if there’re predators, they said.

I guess, with younger children, it’s natural for them to choose ‘safety’, more than ‘freedom’. The older they get, the more ‘freedom’ they’d wish to have.

Reality of parenting and growing up?
