One must admit that no two stick figures are alike.

I like this observation a lot, Mando, though no doubt I'm thinking
of it in
ways different from yours. In writing, we often talk of an author's
not having
found his "voice" yet. And "voice" entails more than just verbal
style. I
didn't realize that children are consistent in this way. How
different are the
tastes of children? -- i.e. one tends to think of all of them as
drawing
identical stick figures. Bt I assume you're saying a good primary
school art
teacher,
given a stack of new, unsigned drawings, could say, "This is by
Judy, this by
Dan, this by Jessie, this by Paulie..."
As a writer who would "draw" a character, I'm constantly beguiled
by how
perfectly "childlike" almost all little kids are.
