The Spider's Garden






Children have vivid imaginations and they often engage in telling fantastical tales. But how often do those stories come to life?

This group of JK students created an imaginary place of tiny munchkins and giant spiders.
Once upon a time there were some little munchkins that went for a walk in the forest. They had fun walking with their friends, swinging from the tree branches and looking at nature. When they walked down the path they ran into a huge spider and it tried to catch them so he could eat them.
They screamed and tried to run away but one Munchkin got caught in the spider's web because it was blocking the pathway.

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. Picasso

When we see the work of a child we are sometimes limited in the words needed to capture the beauty produced by such small hands. The heart of the child is always open to the impossible. Deep leaps of faith can produce the extraordinary.
