Emily Liu’s 2-year-old daughter, Rose, writes piano melodies, makes up yoga moves and turns mixing bowls and pacifiers into hats and jewelry. She makes up her own recipes too, although consumers should be weary of rocks.
“Nobody’s told her it’s supposed to be done a certain way, or supposed to look a certain way,” said Liu, who lives in Atlanta. “Creativity stems from that kind of autonomy, independence and innocence that comes with being a young child.”
