Description
Summary:The article describes a research journey of using drawings as part of a questionnaire for 10-year-olds. I first describe the research project and how the children's drawings became part of it. Then I provide results of analysis of children's drawings in my own research. The sample consisted of 406 children, aged 9-10, from Sweden and Estonia. The drawings ‘What makes you happy?' were analysed thematically. I follow with an overview of other research that has utilised children's drawings and reflect on some methodological drawbacks of using children's drawings and how to overcome them.
