After reading The Magic Tree House #2: The Knight at Dawn, and spending a day at the nearby Higgins Armory Museum – my 6½-year old daughter Caroline asked if she could “draw a shield” of her own.  Absolutely!

I gave her no coaching whatsoever except for telling her that she could put anything on it that she wanted and that it could be any color/s that she liked – I showed her the Society’s Member Armorial to illustrate the point.  I drew her a heater-shaped shield and let her go to work.  This is what she came back with:

Arms: Purpure a garden rose Gules slipped Vert palewise

Crest: a duckling naiant proper

 

Besides the tincture violation (which could easily be solved with a simple argent pale) and the omittance of the torse – I think that she did a splendid job!  At any rate, her first arms are magnitudes better than he father’s first arms were!

 

It’s worth noting that the duckling crest comes from her stuffed duck – named Puddles – that has been her constant companion since around the time of her first birthday.

Very cute.  Such a simple design that works really well.  I also really like the duckling crest.

Beautiful.

I think you should have that made into a banner and let it be her flag until she decides differently.  Call it "arms of minority" if you will.

when she gets older, a duck holding a garden rose would be a great crest for her to have.

Tell her from me, that I think she did a wonderful job!  It’s beautiful.

I know you are so very proud.

Don’t worry, after you’ve gone through about 2,000 iterations, you’ll come up with one you like!

This.

What a wonderful idea, especially if you save the original drawing.

...and the stuffed duckling glued to his helmet…

Even with the color on color business, this is a better design than many we’ve seen…

Fearsome, indeed.

 

And, by the way, kudos for going with a heater-shaped shield.  I support the free choice of arms shapes, but as the father of a fierce teenaged girl I especially like shields for women, no matter how old!
