Why Choose Drawing?
Drawing is a fantastic activity for kids regardless if they’re already experienced young artists or just a beginner. Drawing will allow them to express themselves and improve their imagination and problem-solving skills!
Drawing has many benefits for your child’s well-being and creativity. Here are just some of them:
- It helps with fine motor skills: Drawing with small tools will help strengthen their fine motor skills which is great for writing in later years.
- It improves cognitive development: Drawing requires your child to think about what they want to draw, and then plan out how they’re going to draw it before they start. This helps improve memory, focus and concentration. If they have trouble deciding what they want to draw or where to start, try giving them some prompts such as “draw me something that represents happiness” or “draw me something we saw at the park today”.
- It’s a great way for kids to express themselves: Drawing gives children an outlet for their emotions through art instead of words when they’re not ready to talk about how they feel yet (or don’t know how).
