Hi all,
I would be very grateful if anyone has any opinions on this. My almost 5 yr old brings a wad of pictures home every now and again to free his full folder he has at nursery. I always look at them and notice that out of about 10 drawings there are always around 3 or 4 that are literally scribbles. Sometimes, dark green, sometimes black, sometimes orange, blue and sometimes all mixed colors. When i ask him what it is, he always says fire... Should i be worried?
He loves firemen etc but hasn't really ever seen a fire as such.
Any opinions??
Thanx
Sarah

I wouldn't worry to much, maybe there is a story or a tv programme he has seen with fir in it.

Last week DS1 kept drawing pictures of animals and a man with a stick "so he could bash them up" I was a bit but turned out he'd been watching Brother Bear DVD.
