Do You Let Your Child Paint?

Do you let your Children Paint? I hope so. I was looking through all my photos and noticed pictures of easel paintings that C did when she was 3.  I must of been obsessed....this was before The Chocolate Muffin Tree.  I think I felt every mark that my daughter made was significant.  Being an art teacher,  I felt it was so important to have her paint and she loved it so much!  I never told C what to paint....it was always a very open ended activity every time.  As a 5 year old she hasn't done as much easel painting and maybe I need to break out the easel again and see what she might paint.

I miss my little 3 year old...soon she will be 6!

Do you think it is important to let children paint?  

What are your experiences with children and Painting?
