Tail Art, Nose Art, any art?

The photos show very young kids, much too young to be left to play near a prop, and that is a huge safety risk. It would be like having these same kids handling a real gun like a play thing. Obviously some adult took the photo, but didn't think carefully or seriously enough about what they were allowing or promoting the kids to do.
I am not sure what the "prop lecture" means, but kids will imitate what you do, not what you say.
I know the prop is not turning, but the best practice is to never let kids or anyone else near the prop arc. The best image that I used with my kids is that the prop is like and angry or crazy man with a big sword and he may start swinging it any minute at your head.
I really hate to see photos of anyone , even warbird vets leaning on a prop.
I personally know of two people hit by props, one a CFI who lived and one a 25 year vet A&P who was killed. Recently at Mckinney airport east of Dallas a lady was given a ride, the allowed to exit the plane while it was still running and walked into the prop. She lived, but lost an eye and an arm.
The safe way to do it, and there should be few exceptions, it to always shut off the engine before letting any passenger near or getting in or out of a plane.
