Outsider art – Funnermother

Outdoor play is great, of course.

What if?

We interact with it.

Bring it in.  Study it. Draw it.

We did just that at a play date at our local conservatory & botanical garden.

No running around inside.

We brought art supplies and paper and set the kids free outside, on the garden grounds.

and were engaged for

an hour, focusing and moving

and focusing again.

They were absorbed

and
