EASY HALLOWEEN DRAWINGS FOR KIDS
WHY DO ART WITH KIDS
Children are naturally curious. They observe, explore, and imitate, trying to figure out how things work and how to control themselves and their environment. This freedom of exploration helps children form connections in their brain, it helps them learn—and it’s also fun!
Art is a natural activity to support this essential interaction with the world. Kids need the freedom to explore and experiment.
Simple art projects allow children to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life but also for learning. These include the aesthetic, scientific, interpersonal, and practical interactions that can be discovered through the senses, intellect, and emotions.
Specific skills art projects develop include:
- Fine motor skills. Grasping pencils, crayons, chalk, and paintbrushes.
- Cognitive development. Cause and effect, problem-solving.
- Math skills. Understanding concepts like shape, size, counting, and spatial reasoning.
- Language skills. As children share their artwork and process, they develop language skills.
Ways you can support and encourage a love of art:
Provide a diverse range of supplies. Gather a wide range of materials for your child to use like paint, colored pencils, chalk, play dough, markers, crayons, oil pastels, scissors, and stamps.
Encourage, but don’t lead. let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Let them take the lead.
Be flexible. Instead of sitting down with a plan or expected outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment, and use their imaginations. They might make a huge mess or change their direction several times—this is all part of the creative process.
Let it go. Let them explore. They may only want to run their hands through the shaving cream instead of painting with it.
Children learn through playing, exploring, and trial and error. If you give them the freedom to discover, they will learn to create and experiment in new and innovative ways. See our famous artist projects and process art activities!
