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

Isn't the Fire of London part of the curriculum at this age? Just a thought.

I don't think there's much to read into it tootsie - he's a young child expressing his version of "fire" - imagined fire at that because he hasn't really seen fire as you say and he's most likely picking his favourite colour at that specific time to make the marks.

It's just his impression of what fire is... nothing sinister IMO

Welcome to the fascinating world of a small child's imagination!! My DS's scribbles used to be rectangular(ish) and always be space rockets... he has a rocket and an alien in said rocket that he lives in. He lives in it less now, but he was always in it at the same age of your DS!

Thank you all for your input. We actually don't live in UK cory but thanks anyway. He is very much into fireman Sam though
Thank you too lewisfan, it's good to read others views and just makes me feel better. You just never know do you so thank you.
