My son, 5, the last week or so has decided to enter a creative phase, constantly making stuff, gluing, sticking, drawing, cutting etc he's never been the type to do this mainly because he's always been too busy running around playing to sit still long enough so I'm enjoying seeing this side of him and his imagination..
Anyway he came out today with several things , rocket, giant scarecrow and a statue all of which he had made out of paper sellotaped together and drawn on, his teacher helped bring them out and then said to me "i know this is just a phase he is going through and his imagination is great but we can't really let him use this much paper tomorrow.. Maybe you could talk to him about using the Lego to build with or get some cereal boxes at home"
I didn't really say much at the time and I get along with this teacher quite well so didn't really want to bring up anything if it's just me being unreasonable but surely this is a phase they should encourage? I get he can build stuff with Lego as a creative outlet but he is also doing writing and bettering his motor skills like with scissors and such the other way?
Just looking for opinions, totally prepared to be told I'm being ridiculous, thanks :)
