Art is a natural activity to support this free play in children. The freedom to manipulate different materials in an organic and unstructured way allows for exploration and experimentation. These artistic endeavors and self-directed explorations are not only fun, but educational as well. Art allows preschoolers to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning.
Fine motor skills – Grasping pencils, crayons, chalk and paintbrushes helps children develop their fine motor muscles.
Cognitive development – Art can help children learn and practice skills like patterning and cause and effect.
Math skills – Children can learn, create and begin to understand concepts like size, shape, making comparisons, counting and spatial reasoning.
Language skills – As children describe and share their artwork, as well as their process, they develop language skills.
Giving your child a creative outlet can help relieve stress and work through things happening in their lives. Talk with your child about their work – encourages language skills.
