41 Kids’ Drawings That Should Come With A Warning Label
Nobody’s born an artist. Sure, some people show talent early on, but even the most gifted ones need time and plenty of practice before things start to click.
And sometimes, those early attempts are quite unique. We’ve gathered a gallery of kids portraits that may not be technically perfect, but make up for it with charm, creativity, and pure honesty.
They're the embodiment of Bob Ross' legendary term, happy accidents, and most probably ended up in the family hall of fame.

Wonder if it was an art class - most younger kids won't get that perfect locational symmetry of eyes and brows like that, plus the hand-smudged shading.

Encourage your kids to draw! It is great for their hand-eye coordination, helps with imagination, and is a really useful skill in life. Also, consider letting them sing their made up songs to you, learning to be confident in front of people makes them better at presenting their own ideas and become well some leaders. (Yes, I was a teacher ... I believe in giving kids every chance to be the best they can be.)
