Children begin developing writing and drawing skills at a young age. An interest in holding and utilizing a writing utensil (such as a crayon) may begin as early as 15 months. From 15 months to three years, a child’s creativity, and in turn, their ability to write and draw, expands.
Writing stems from drawing, so it is important to allow your child the opportunity to draw as soon as they express an interest. At PFM, art is incorporated in all levels of learning — the infant classroom, in addition to the toddler and preschool students, greatly enjoy dedicated art time.
In this article, you can learn the four stages of writing, beginning in infancy. If you have questions about your child’s writing or drawing skills, we welcome your communication!
