Looking at a child’s scribbles is sometimes like looking at a 2-dimensional snapshot of a 4th-dimensional scene recorded over a span of time. In many cases, you aren’t seeing a static image but an entire story, from start to finish, in one frame. Gives you a different perspective on a child’s drawings if you think of it this way.<\/p>\n

The upper left-corner image is his family members going for a walk and then going into the family race car for a drive (every family has a family race car, right?)<\/p>\n
