Tools on the Internet for the little ones to learn to draw

Before the age of 7, children have not developed enough to take a drawing course . They can participate in a drawing and painting workshop, but not with the aim of becoming a draftsman, rather they are more focused on sensory awakening, psycho motor development and the discovery of painting.

The little ones love new experiences. Therefore, it is essential to increase the crafts for their development: modeling, painting, collage , drawing, cutouts … As for drawing, as we have said before, the child learns to control his movements by developing fine motor skills. At the same time, you develop emotionally, reaffirm your character and gain confidence.

Do you want to stimulate your child and develop his drawing and graphic skills? In the digital age, there are tons of resources online for children to learn to draw .

Do not forget that drawing is a game for children. The objective is not to impose anything on them, but to awaken their curiosity and encourage them to have new experiences that lead them to develop their skills.

Thanks to tablets, there are many options . Although they are not a substitute for blank sheets or coloring books, they are an interesting alternative for young children. Its fun and interactive side amazes the little ones. When they grow up, children are also always ready to use digital media.

There are many mobile drawing apps for all ages and they offer a variety of features:

• Learn to draw with your finger : go over the dotted lines to draw a character, an animal, a house …
• Learning to color : the child plays with colors and colors a picture.
• Draw freely : the child makes their own creations on the tablet with their finger or a stylus.
• Develop their creativity : applications with which the child has to draw a picture to complete a story.
• Getting started in writing : making graphics (lines, curves, spirals, loops …).

Some applications have overcome the challenge of combining traditional drawing on paper and virtual reality. It is a very rewarding experience for the child, who can see how his drawing is integrated into the decoration of the application, as in Squiggle Fish , or how it comes to life when he finishes it.

There are also many pictures to print on the Internet: dot drawings, coloring … These educational materials guide the child to learn to draw at their own pace.

For the older ones, there are tutorials on the Internet designed specifically for children to learn to draw, with simple shapes, animals, characters, objects, etc. There are many online drawing videos for all ages and all levels that will give the child a new impetus in drawing practice.

Sometimes children tend to draw the same themes. By giving them the keys to learn to draw new things, they will feel a renewed interest in drawing and will also stimulate their creativity.
