The girl creative
Do you have one of these girls?
Dance, paint, draw, cook, sing. Her days dedicated to creating, many moments committed to expression. The other day, a roll of masking tape became a way to decorate walls, mirror, desk and door. A read-aloud book is acted out, a Bible story re-told in detail. My girl loves to create.
I try to give her lots of opportunity when she asks to do something like painting. Having an assortment of colors, lots of paper, markers, glitter, maybe how-to books to inspire – it’s important to have those items at home when you have creative children. Most of all, I let her do without telling her how. And I follow behind, ready to peel the tape off the wall.
She’ll be five on Sunday. I pray she never loses her love, or confidence, in what she creates.
What’s your girl’s favorite way to express her creativity?

Non-stop chatter. At age five, her mission appears to be to squeeze as many words as is humanly possible into each day.
