onLots of people think of childhood art as just a cutesy way to keep their kids entertained, but it is so much more than that. When kids create art, they are doing more than just keeping themselves busy, they are practicing an activity that can help them to develop into a well-rounded adult. The following is a list of a few of the many benefits of art for young children and their development:
- Language Skills- Creating artwork (and talking about that artwork) gives your child the chance to learn the names for shapes, colors and even actions.
- Motor Skills- Even the simplest actions, like learning to color with a crayon, can help to develop your child's fine motor skills. In fact, one of the developmental milestones for a child around the age of three is the ability to use safety scissors and draw a circle, and by the age of four a child should be able to cut in a straight line and draw a square.
- Decision Making Skills- Art can enhance your child's ability to solve problems and think critically. When your child learns how to make choices in their artwork, it can translate into other parts of their life as well.
- Visual- Playing with Play-doh®, drawing or even putting beads on a string, can all help your child to develop spatial skills. Not only will your child be able to learn important visual skills, but he or she will also be able to interpret that knowledge and make decisions based on it.
