One thing that’s common among most kids is their love for painting. No other activity keeps kids busy as good as colouring. Even before kids learn to use pens and pencils, they learn to hold colours and turn the walls or floors into their canvas. While this might annoy or please us, paediatricians, researchers and educators readily agree art has stress-reducing effects on kids. (1) So if a parent is on the lookout for activities that not only entertain the little ones but also contribute to their development, then painting activities have no alternative. They’re simply the best for your tiny tots! Asking why? The list of benefits of painting for toddlers can give you an insight into this discussion:
Painting isn't just about creating pretty pictures; it's a holistic activity that engages a child's mind, body, and soul. Studies even show that painting activities for kids are a way to express themselves. Kids draw whatever their mind directs them to paint. So, if your little one is going through any sort of emotional or physical turmoil, their paintings usually mirror it. (2) That’s why it’s vital to take a deep look into kids’ preschool painting once in a while. But apart from this, there are some incredible advantages of painting that your child can benefit from. Let’s take a look at them:
The movements involved in painting play a vital role in honing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Painting helps children develop better control over their movements, and perform regular tasks such as writing and tying shoelaces with ease.
Deciding which image to paint or which elements go together in a painting necessitates strong decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking power. As children start drawing, and colouring, their cognitive and analytical skills are also improving.
When children experiment with different drawing techniques and see their creations come to life, it helps them to grow into confident human beings. They don’t fear new challenges but rather look for solutions to get rid of them.
As painting is a time-consuming work, completing the artwork takes time and patience. So colouring becomes a perfect avenue to sharpen your little one’s concentration power and ability to stay put. These traits help the preschoolers throughout their lives and prepare them for the challenges life throws at them.
