Communicating With Nurseries

My next step towards making progress in this project is to contact nurseries and preschool playgroups in order to set up ‘focus’ type groups with children. As mentioned in the email which I sent out (below), I desire to find out how children draw certain animals, and in fact which are their favourite animals.

This will then help me to find out which animals to use as my core characters for the website. For example if a bird proved to be a popular option with children, and they were able to recreate it with ease, then this would be a great choice to be included on the website.

Here is the email I sent out:

Hi,
I am a student at the University of Central Lancashire. I was wondering whether I could organise to visit the nursery to collect some drawings from the children.
I am creating new characters (e.g teddy, mouse, bird) and I would like to see the children's interpretation of these in order to create characters which they can best relate to.
