Stone age toddlers may have attended a form of prehistoric nursery
where they were encouraged to develop their creative skills in cave art,
say archaeologists.

Research indicates young children expressed themselves in an ancient
form of finger-painting. And, just as in modern homes, their early
efforts were given pride of place on the living room wall.

Friday reveals a tantalising glimpse into life for children in the
palaeolithic age, an estimated 13,000 years ago.
