It is always fun to do art work with young children. It may be messy, but it is all worth it because they are able to experience the goodness of doing art. Remember that for young children, it is not the product that is being focused, but the process! No matter how beautiful there work is, if they are not the one who did it, it is nothing! However, if they are the ones who did it, even though it is not so nice, it is still wonderful because they did it on their own. There is a lot of learning happening in that!
