Bubs has never liked to draw. Up until a couple of days ago, if you asked him to draw something, he scribbled. I looked in the magazines that we receive and saw these great pictures that kids Bubs’ age drew. I knew that the problem stemmed back to his fine motor skills but we had to turn the tide.
Along with the Visual Perception Activities on ABCJLM, I started using a “How to Draw
Yesterday, I pulled the easel from the corner of the playroom and asked Bubs and Sweet Pea to draw. Bubs called me over to look at his creation. I was prepared for a mess of colors. This is what I saw:
books. I didn’t think anything of them until now. I realize that they have been a vital part in Bubs’ drawing skills.
I'm thinking that this is amazing! It is so rewarding when you see something almost magical develop in your child. Those look like drawings of a potential artist for sure:)
That is great! Go Bubs!!
There is a childrens'book illustrator who will be doing art lessons in the childrens' library each Saturday from 2-3 for the next six weeks if you are interested. We are going to check it out. Email me if you haven't heard about it and want more info.
I'm so excited to have found this blog! I googled for a preschool bible curriculum and stumbled onto this. My son has SPD and this is one of the few places I've found that has stuff I can really relate to. He's 4 1/2 and doesn't draw or write like the other kids his age either. I think it's a great idea to integrate that into our preschool time. Thanks!
