I had all kinds of Letter A activities planned for my girls, including making apple prints. The idea was to get paint on the cut side of an apple and stamp it on the paper.
My girls had different ideas. They half-heartedly stamped the apple a few times to please their well-intentioned mommy. Then, with great energy, they set to painting their entire apples. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed moving away from the plan and watching them create.
And wasn't the final result more beautiful than apple shapes stamped on paper?
