These stunning name canvases, created at a recent baby shower, are a testament to the power of shared experiences. Each family member had the opportunity to paint their own canvas, resulting in a heartwarming memento that will be cherished by this lovely family. ❤️

Some people would see these pictures and think "what a mess!"

I look at these pictures and the many more just like it from the last 8 weeks and think...

Wow those kids had a great time!
They used their imagination!
They got to go wherever their heart desired with supplies they had free access too.
They spent time without electronics!!
They worked and played which IS learning and they didn't even realize it!
They've practiced social skills, patience, persistence, logical thinking, making decisions on their own, patience (this was a biggie), fine motor skills, emotional regulation and SOOO much more!

This summer was one of the hardest of my life. It was also one of the most rewarding.
Watching kids overcome struggles, lift others up, ask for help, jump in to help, go from needing step by step directions to letting themselves just go wild with whatever randomness came to mind. I watched kids that are normally head of the class need help and ones that are normally last in class be able to help. When we take away the box it's really incredible what young minds can accomplish.

Being creative is natural. Being creative is important. Being able to express our creativeness in minimally structured settings is so powerful and therapeutic. Go be creative!
