Children learning to draw brings great benefits

Training memory, observation skills, and developing emotions and creativity are great benefits of teaching children to draw.

According to psychologists, children's love of drawing and teaching them to draw brings great benefits:

Help children practice memory: Drawing helps children practice their vision and ability to observe the world around them, helping them store information about things and phenomena. Drawing helps children remember longer when they express their thoughts through drawing activities and they will have correct judgments about things and phenomena.

Improve your observation skills: Children's drawings are often very difficult to understand. However, if mothers pay close attention, they will see that in their children's drawings there are often strange details drawn very prominently. Psychologists say that this is a reflection of the world through the child's memory. In fact, this is the way for children to demonstrate their ability to observe every day and children will pay attention to details that adults do not notice.

Abstract thinking when children want to draw something they have seen: The world of children is a fairy tale with strange details. In addition, the use of colors will show more clearly about children's imagination.

Develop multidimensional thinking:We can learn a lot from children's drawings. The use of colors and shapes is a way to enhance memory and promote observation, nurturing imagination. This is the ability to think in images, the ability to move and create that children cannot learn without drawing.

The painting expresses emotionsLike music and dance, painting is an art form that expresses human emotions from within. Looking at the work, parents can see their child's mood and thoughts.

From the above benefits, before teaching children to draw, experts guide some ways for children to get familiar with colors and hands: Teaching children to draw regularly also helps children increase their ability to observe and pay attention to every detail of a whole. Helps children develop motor skills when controlling the drawing pen as they wish. Logical thinking about what to draw first and what to draw next or from left to right, from top to bottom. Helps children know how to enjoy beauty. Drawing is an activity to relax, practice concentration, learn about oneself and have a healthy hobby instead of playing video games, watching TV...

Introduce your baby to colors first:Use colorful jellies so that your baby can recognize colors while eating. Your baby will learn about colors and soft textures, and when eating, you can teach your baby to separate each layer of jelly to eat, which will be very interesting.

Using your fingers:This game is for children 2 years and older. When your child is not yet proficient in holding a pen but still likes to draw, mothers should choose safe colors for children (food-based colors) and put a mat before letting them play so they don't get dirty all over the house. Just seeing your fingers create colorful shapes on the paper is enough to make your child happy.

Use your hands skillfully: Children often love sand and clay. Instead of going to the toy store and buying expensive clay, make your own safe play dough, add some clean sand, and your child will have a lot of new games!

Practice memory training for children: Mothers can help children practice memory through the game of tearing and pasting paper. Not only does it cost little, tearing and pasting paper into different shapes also helps children practice their hands more skillfully, combine colors more harmoniously, and it also helps children practice memory very well when mothers know how. For example, mothers can help their children arrange flags of different countries, calling out the country name as they arrange them. Surely the child will remember which flag belongs to which country after arranging the flag!
