I agree, I observed my 3 year old often and he is more creative by applying his imagination. He tends to lose interest in building it himself he see something better than what he created. When I am helping him color and I color it precisely he just lose interest in coloring and say color it please you are better. If I don't help him at all he will finish the whole piece and even be proud of it. Now I color just like him so he will not lose interest during the coloring.
