Manipulates materials - planned effect (EAD)

[Wildflowers]

The planned effect, can it be an adult's idea? It's about the manipulation to achieve the effect that matters, not the creativity, isn't it so? For example, can I ask a child to figure out how to make something smooth or tall and then observe how the child goes about it, and determine if a child 'manipulates materials to achieve a planned effect' based on their involvement in the experimentation?

If you are considering the ELG then it would have to be embedded and predominately independent application of skills and knowledge - it is about the child's expressiveness in the arts and design arena I feel. For the ELG a child would be deciding for themselves the planned effect.
