The photograph was taken outside. A child, around two or three years old, is holding a small wooden mallet in one hand and a flower in the other. She is sitting at a wooden picnic table, in front of her are two small paper plates and a handful of leaves and wildflowers in front of her. She is wearing yellow sunglasses and is focused on her work. She is making a craft as part of the Little Explorers toddler program.
