What does your child draw?

[Justina]

Your child's drawing can tell alot about her.

Pay attention to the following:

Does your child draw nature, human, things?
Does she draw happy or sad faces?
Does she draw the details including
Who does she present her drawings to?

All these can represent her mood, personality, interest and character.

My girl likes to draw mummy and baby animals using crayons but doesn't color them. Sometimes she draws our family engaging in some activities which tells me that she would like to do it too.

My 3yo boy likes to draw smiley faces & vehicles (aeroplanes, trains, bus, car, etc).

He tried drawing a caterpillar with a smiley face before.

He does not colour his drawings cos they are drawn on my whiteboard with marker. Not many colours for him to do any colouring

How old do they start drawing? My 30mths old boy doesnt know how to draw..He can only draw round n round n round..those scribbling kind..

My boy started doodling (scribbles) at 1yo. Started drawing shapes freehand (no dotted lines or help) at around 18 months.

Started drawing 'pictures' and 'objects' at around 2yo. Now he's 3+, he prefers to paint and use objects as templates to draw (using coin, boxes, toys, etc).

pin likes to draw smiley faces.
started out with a round face n 2 dots for eyes n a smile. then she moved on to adding nose, eyebrow, ear n hair.
she also like drawing vehicles n animals like dinosaurs. hahahaha! though it doesnt really look like it but more or less can figure out lorr.
she also like to draw our whole family including my parents n sisters- either in dinosaur form or in human stick form.
as she draws on the magnetic drawing board, so not much colouring needed.

Actually, usually is no exposure. Caretakers hide away all pens/pencils/crayon cos afraid the kid will make a mess (draw on Walls).

I started him w aquadoodle & magnetic boards.
When he show tt he can handle without destroying the house, I gave him his own pencil cases & a whole range of pens & markers

exposure & imitation. When I draw shapes, he also draw shapes. When I write alphabets, he also write alphabets.

If he can control his hands to hold a pen & draw, then you show him other shapes. Thru tracing objects or trace on dotted lines.
they learn fast if you show them it can be done
