LONDON -- If there's one thing the wonderfully inappropriate series of drawings shared recently on The Unmumsy Mum's Facebook page has taught us, it's that children's art can be appreciated on a number of different levels.
The trend of accidentally crude festive kids' drawings was discussed last week on the sweary parenting blog after mum Elletia Thomas shared her little boy's Christmas card.

"My son's Christmas card design," she wrote in the photo's description. "School want to know if I would like to pay £16 for a pack of cards and gift tags. Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like Santa's giant red cock, I suppose."
At the time of writing, the original post has been shared over 3,000 times.
It wasn't long before other parents started chipping in.

Some cards got attention for different reasons.

Eventually, the discussion broadened out to include other forms of children's art.
