Creativity from a 5 year old

Lately Stan and I have been very impressed with the creativity that Chasadya has exibited, and it seems to not come from either of us.  We know that she loves to color, and draw, and in fact, seems to be thrilled to spend hours on crafts.  If it weren't for the mess that results, I would be a lot more excited for her to do it, but I have relaxed on that over the last while.  What has helped in this regard was cleaning out and sorting her craft box.  I threw out a lot of odds and ends that made things a mess, and was able to find a way of organizing things to my satisfaction, so although the box looks depleted, it has been good for everyone.

One of the things she's been incredibly creative about is taking foam stickers, the kind that come in shapes and letters, and making people out of them.  She arranges things to make faces, pants, dresses, legs and arms.  When she ran out of shapes, she started to cut up the letters to make the proper shapes necessary.  It occupies hours of her time.  I now have need to buy more to restock. 

The other thing she's done this week is write a story.  She found a notebook and decided that she wanted to write her own story.  As she doesn't know how to read or write words, we worked on it together.  She told me the sentence, I would tell her the letters that she needed to write, and she would write them down.  She doesn't have the spacing in the words yet, but she would often be able to sound out the letters needed to make a word.  Her story made sense, consisted of four sentences, and was very well put together.  We are so very proud of her.  We don't know where this creativity comes from, as Stan and I don't feel we have the same talents, but feel that we want to encourage her in both aspects of "art".
