\nChildren can’t always express themselves using words and actions,\u00a0so drawing is another important form of communication. You can gain an insight into your child’s thoughts and feelings through their drawings. Being able to express what they feel also boosts a child’s emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n
Why not get out the colouring pencils and pens, try our\u00a0Professor Astro Cat<\/a>\u00a0activity sheets, and make your own Astro spaceships and suits? You can download them<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From a small scribble to a masterpiece that takes pride of place on the\u00a0fridge, drawing can enhance your child’s motor skills from a young age. Starting them as early as possible will help them improve their hand and eye coordination, while fine-tuning their finger muscles. Try our dot to dot app\u00a0Artie’s Magic Pencil<\/a>\u00a0to help with this.\u00a0Our little artistic hero can help little ones build confidence in their creative skills.\u00a0‘If you can draw these simple shapes then you can draw anything!’<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drawing enables your child’s imagination to become more active. Each time they draw they access their imagination and make physical representations of what’s in their mind. People’s imaginations have allowed them to create all of the things that we use and are surrounded by everyday. Our sister companies\u00a0Nobrow<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Flying Eye Books<\/a>\u00a0publish some fantastic books, of which one of our absolute favourites is\u00a0‘Nightlights’<\/a>\u00a0by Lorena Alvarez. It’s a charming\u00a0story of a young girl’s boundless imagination, with beautiful illustrations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drawing is one of the early foundations of logical thinking or abstract thought. Whether your child is still at home with you or at school already, drawing helps them prepare for understanding more difficult concepts. Learning these creative ways of thinking at an early age readies\u00a0a child for future education. Provide your kids with a variety of materials to draw with, for example crayons, paint, chalk – and don’t forget digital media tools too, to help them get used to the tablets and other computers that they’re sure to use frequently in the future.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Importance of drawing Children can’t always express themselves using words and actions,\u00a0so drawing is another important form of communication.
