Drawings of preschoolers expressing their feelings

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, September 27, 2007 4:05 PM | permalink

The kids in my daughter's preschool were asked to describe their current feelings and why they felt that way. I enjoyed their answers, so I took photos and uploaded them to Flickr. Link

Anyone else notice that the handwriting is the same on all of the pics? Same felt pen too, etc.

Funny though :)

Threepointone, these were drawn by preschoolers, so they can't have lettered the captions themselves. Their teacher must have asked them what the pictures were about, and lettered the captions for them.

I can attest to the oppressive melancholy that arises from having pretend blood on your arm. It is just no good at all. No good.

I often feel like a pirate too. I need more of this stuff, my girlfriend and I laughed endlessly and want kids now. Or, later.
Mark, you seem like a great dad.
