It is not permissible to draw or sculpt images, nor to hang them in homes and public places, because this involves exaggeration that may lead to being infatuated with them and worshipping them instead of Allah, as happened with the idols that were images of righteous people. Children can be raised on Islamic morals through other permissible means.
