When a preschool teacher in Canada started an art project tied to her students’ learning unit, she had no idea it would wildly amuse the internet.

Briar Van Driel, 29, works as an early childhood education assistant in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and recently assigned her preschoolers a horse craft, because her classroom’s April theme was farming.

“We spent the month learning about what happens on a farm, what farmers do, what animals they take care of and the food they grow to help stock our grocery stores and feed us and our families,” Van Driel tells TODAY.com, adding that the horse craft was a great way to talk about the role of horses on a farm.

Van Driel says making a horse using construction paper and yarn was “a way for them to express their creativity” while learning.

“As an educator its so important that we give them the creative freedom and independence to do their art as they see fit (and) end up with a product that they are proud of that came from their own mind,” she says.

For the project, Van Driel created an example horse on her own, but tells TODAY.com the preschoolers did not see her version.

“They just had the verbal guidance that we were making a horse and got to look at a picture of a real horse,” she says. “They had full creative freedom to use the provided pieces in whatever way they desired on their papers.”

The end results — which Van Driel compiled in a now viral video on TikTok — will make you whinny with laughter.

“My preschoolers horse mane art,” Van Driel wrote across the opening of the video, which shows her example horse, complete with uniform yarn hair for the mane. “Except it gets progressively more abstract.”

The video, which follows a trend among teachers who show the before and afters of their students’ art on social media, has been viewed more than 2.7 million times and amassed more than 2,000 comments.

“The variety in the eye placement is 11/10,” one user wrote.

Another added, “Laughed the hardest at the one where the eyes were no where near the horse.”

“They all tried to show the horses from different angles,” one user noted.

Other fans of the video applauded Van Driel’s approach to creativity.

“I love that they were allowed to do THEIR interpretation,” one user wrote.

While the video is making adults laugh, Van Dreil tells TODAY.com that art projects are great for the kids, because they help to develop fine motor skills and she emphasizes “process over product” in her classroom.

“We provide general ideas and resources to them, but we never correct them or tell them where to place things,” she says. “This fosters so much confidence in the children, and gives them such an amazing sense of pride in their work. They learn to not doubt themselves, but rather take so much joy in what they can create.”

Chana’s family was quite excited to be going to the river again at the end of the day, and it was an experience even more enjoyable because FaaMai accompanied them as well. FaaMai brings a smile to everyone’s face.

Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson were astounded by the ripped physique of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson on the player’s return for pre-season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were in high spirits as the squad reconvened after their summer holidays to begin preparation for the 2023-24 season.

And it was the work done in the off season by Henderson that caught the eyes of Robertson and Salah, himself known for his sculpted abdominals.

In a video uploaded by the club, the Egyptian can be heard excitedly saying: ‘Can you see this? My God.’ In reference to the 33-year-old who had stripped down to begin physical assessments at Kirkby.

‘Wow, what a body,’ Robertson exclaimed to the Reds skipper who looked both flattered and embarrassed at the same time.

Liverpool players were put through their paces on their return to the AXA Training Centre

‘It’s all that boxing. Alright son,’ the Scotland captain added before mimicking a sparring session ahead of his final loving appreciation of Henderson’s muscles.

First day of pre-season also saw the introduction of new arrivals Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, who met their new team-mates for the first time.

All at the AXA Training Centre appeared to be delighted to return for the upcoming season that starts with a mouth-watering away trip to Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea on August 13.

Before that the Reds will contest five friendly games, starting with fixtures against German second division sides Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth on July 19 and July 24.

They then face off against Leicester City at the end of the month before their biggest clash against Bayern Munich on August 2.

Klopp’s side finish their pre-season with a tie against SV Darmstadt a week later as they bid to improve on their disappointing 2022-23 campaign.
