Outtitude

Give any 2-5yr old child a blank paper to draw, and most of them will fearlessly start drawing without missing a blink, completely unaware of the imperfection of their drawing. Give any 6-12yr old child a blank paper to draw, and most of them will be intimidated by the brightness & the cleanness of the paper, they will stare at the paper for quite some time, approach it cautiously and start to draw, very much aware of the imperfection of their drawing.

Take any child outside with color chalks and ask them to draw on a hard surface, they run with excitement and start drawing without missing a blink, completely embrace the imperfection of their drawing. What is it about the outdoor that boost such attitude?
