As a parent, life gets in the way and getting several crafts that you simply don't value becomes a chore to manage.

Can I just say, of all the crafts, I don't want my child's footprint with a teacher's hand-drawn antlers, eyes and nose. My child didn't make that or have that idea or anything.

As a teacher, I wouldn't give a parent my art unless it was my own mom lol Since I'm no Picasso, no parent would want my art other than my mom. So why draw on kid's art? It makes no sense.

I stick with process art. The child has the process/ the experience. I don't make things for parents. The plants I had the children pot and bring home was an activity for the kids, as well as something the kids can give to their parents. So there ya go. It's a plant. I have such a distaste for adult planned and created and adjusted (!) Kid art. And probably many dcparents do too. Aaaaand probably many love that stuff. I concede we all have different opinions.
