Do I need to draw complex drawings for young children?
Each child has individual characteristics and abilities. Very young children under two years of age hold the pencil vertically, drawing exclusively squiggles and curved lines on paper. Even if you offer such a kid to draw a simple circle or square, this is unlikely to succeed. Older children are already able to draw simple geometric shapes. At the age of four to five years, it is useful to offer the child to draw certain objects, encouraging the completion of tasks. While drawing with the child, the parent will not only get closer to the child, spending time with benefit, but will also lay a good foundation for studying at school. For example, you can suggest the baby draw a yule with a pencil. This subject consists of hemispheres, drawing such a simple geometry will develop spatial thinking.
How to draw a hula?
Many children do not know how to depict objects graphically. However, almost every child over 3 years old will be able to draw a toy with a pencil familiar to everyone since childhood. First, draw the axis around which the yule revolves.
Then draw a pen
Then draw an element that looks like a hat attached to a pen
Following this element, draw two “pancakes” of different thicknesses.
Next, connect the “pancakes” and the axis with a curved line, making a sharp tip at the very bottom.
Yula is almost ready. Add the required number of rings and vortices to convey the effect of rotation.
The central axis can be erased.
