    OK someones got to do this so I offer my head on the chopping block. Chop chop away...

    A picture paints a thousand words. Behold the awesome talent on display here by kids quite a bit older than 4:

    Go figure.

    My thoughts:

    1) The "sun to make you feel happy" pic looked like it was made by finger painting, not string painting.

    2) When I was 3 and a half, I drew a picture of an aeroplane complete with wings, and a dozen windows in a straight row. It was a lot of detail for a young kid. I don't remember drawing it but my sister kept it for many years, and now it's in my possession. If I had a camera I'd show it here as proof. So I'm not surprised to hear of a young girl under 5 drawing a detailed pic. It is possible.

    Examples if you please...

    We were told by someone in authority that the picture was done with paint and string by dropping it onto paper and "it's very easy to do". I could not find a single example of kids doing anything remotley comparable to the image in question.

    It could be done by another method obviously, I'd like to know how and see comparable examples done by a pre teen child.

    We made cutout of plywood templates for our kiddies to do finger painting , they would make faces , planets the sun i had many paintings almost exactly the same done by my 4 year old at the time. Art is easy to read into but often its just plain simple.

    Nice quote : The Earth without Art is just eh!

    Hey, this is a great idea! Better to do outside in the warm weather, though.
