The role of drawing in the development of the baby. Drawing tools

Drawing is probably the most famous and widely used type of creative activity. Through drawing, the child develops memory, learns to focus, improves fine motor skills, analyzes everything, compares, looks for differences, drawing makes the child think and think.

Drawing tools

At the youngest age the child pays more attention to the qualities that this or that material has, the drawings of five-year-old children can already be understood and comprehended, at 10 years the child is already making plot drawings.

Drawing helps to establish and strengthen the connection of the right and left hemispheres of the child's brain, so it affects the development of the baby so much.

Drawing materials for today are very diverse, from crayons to all kinds of colors.

Drawing paints( finger, watercolor, gouache).

In Europe, drawing paints with children from 6 months old has been practiced for more than 20 years and has had positive results.

It's the colors that give you more scope for fantasy.

Finger paints

Finger paints will perfectly suit the smallest ones, because they are made of safe materials, and even if the child licks the finger in the paint, moms have nothing to worry about. In addition, such paints are easily washed and washed off clothes. This is a pretty nice bonus, because the crumb does not stop just drawing on paper.

Drawing with finger paints

For more details about these paints, how to use them and the recipe for their preparation at home, see Finger paints. Benefits of paints for the development of the child

Gouache

Gouache is suitable for children a little older, from about two years, becauseit is not as safe as finger paints and harder to wash. Gouache, too, you can draw with fingers, palms, or you can brush. Let the child begin to paint it, as well as his usual finger paints, and then show him how to do it with a brush. But remember, before 3 years, children can not properly hold the brush and control the intensity of depression, so do not require too much of the baby, let him learn.

Gouache very much is pleasant to children, sincehas the following properties:

• it is opaque
• it is very soluble in water
• it can be painted on canvas and on a sheet of paper and even on wood
• dries well and after drying it becomes matte and velvety
• without smell, so it suits the children
• it is very dense, with a saturated color

Drawing with gouache

From two years old, the child can be given coloring, just choose large drawings with a minimum of details to start. Show the child how to paint, without going abroad. Try different colors.

Gouache is very good because you can mix colors and get new ones. This lesson should please the young researcher.

Watercolor paints

Since the age of four, the child's drawings are already acquiring more recognizable shapes and he can already give watercolors.

Watercolor is a water-soluble paint, so it is well washed off with water. Painted with watercolor paintings create the impression of weightlessness, translucency and lightness.

The smaller the baby, the fewer colors to choose. For a schoolboy, 12 colors are enough, for children younger and even less. Colors of watercolors can be mixed on a separate palette and get new colors and shades.

Watercolor paints

You will also need brushes to work with watercolor, it is better to choose soft and qualitative ones, for example, made from pile ponies or squirrels.

Explain to the child that before taking a new color, the brush should be thoroughly washed in water, otherwise the colors will mix.

There is a special watercolor paper, it differs from the usual one in that the pictures on it turn out to be brighter and, accordingly, live. In addition, it will not wrinkle from moisture.

Many different paint drawing techniques you will find in the article Different techniques of drawing paints. Drawing with paints with children

Drawing with pencils( classical, watercolor, wax)

It is more difficult to draw pencils for a child than with fingers with paint, but you need to develop the handles and give the child to try all the drawing tools.

There are several types of pencils:

• classic
• watercolor
• wax

Classical pencils

These pencils were painted by us in childhood: a color lead in a wooden case. The variety of such pencils now in stores is amazing: imported and domestic production, sets of 6 colors and large ones for 64 or more colors, thick and thin, round and triangular. .. The choice of pencils is great, but you need to carefully select them for your child.

1. Children under 3 years old are better off choosing pencils trihedral, they are more comfortable to hold and they form the correct grip of the child. In addition, such pencils will not roll down the table to the floor and they will not have to be raised constantly.
2. Kids should be given pencil drawings thicker, so that the body is about 1cm, then the lead is not so often broken. Strongly thick to choose is not worth it, they will be uncomfortable with small hands
3. The griffin should not be fragile so as not to break constantly from falling to the floor.
4. Choose soft pencils so that the child does not have to make efforts, otherwise he will lose interest in the lesson. Soft pencils are marked with a Latin letter B, solid - H

Drawing with pencils

We can recommend you pay attention to the pencils of the following companies: Crayola, KOH-I-NOOR, JOVI.They meet all of the above requirements.

Watercolor pencils

This kind of pencils is also made in a wooden case, but instead of the lead there is a pressed watercolor. It turns out like 2 in 1 - and watercolors and pencils. Drawing with such a pencil, you can carry a wet brush on top and get a drawing painted with paint.

• The rod in such pencils is made in a special way that does not allow it to crumble
• They are very soft and brightly paint, better than classic
• . Expensive
• Wooden case round or hexagonal, of usual thickness, i.e.not suitable for small children
• Children draw with such pencils with great pleasure

Wax pencils

Wax pencils are also good for children. They are made of wax with the addition of food colorings.

Wax pencils

• They are bright, drawings made with wax pencils do not fade with time, they do not lose the saturation of
• . They do not leave any marks on their hands, although they do not have a protective case
• . Can be drawn by either side or even
• edge. It's easy to sharpen
• Soft, do not needmake efforts to draw a line, which is suitable for kids
• Wax pencils easily fit on paper, so they are easy to paint large areas
• Draw on many surfaces: paper, cardboard, wood, Lina, you can say to everyone except the glossy paper wipes
• ordinary eraser
• There are thick and three-edged for the smallest

Such pencils there are drawbacks:

• they are uncomfortable to paint small details and draw thin lines of
• if they are very thin, then often their children break
• some firms wrap each pencil in a paper wrapper that children constantly try to take off or gnaw

Drawing felt-tip pens( classic, water-soluble, for boards, withstamps)

Felt-tip pens are one of the most favorite drawing tools for children. They deserve such love with precise and very bright lines, which they leave without the slightest effort. And they do not need to be sharpened.

Be careful, markers are not recommended for use by children under 3 years old, because a small child can swallow a cap with which the felt pen is closed.

There are such markers, in which the cap is made with ventilation. Check that the packaging is written that they meet the standards of BS 7272/90 .This indicates that ventilation in the cap passes more than 8 liters of air per minute, so the baby will not suffocate if it gets stuck in the airway until medical help arrives.

Drawing with felt pads

Also note the cap, it should not be removed from the case in accordance with the standard NFS 51-205 .In this case, the baby can not open the marker and disassemble it.

Pay even more attention to the ink in the felt tip pen, choose made on a water basis, without a strong smell, preferably in the composition with food colorings.

Water-soluble markers are easily laundered from the skin and many surfaces, so they are good for young children who will paint them all around. Another of their advantages is that if you forgot to close the cap, it is enough to lower the rod into the water and they will draw again.

As well as pencils, markers for babies are better to choose thick, about 1 cm in diameter and trihedral.

Small researchers like to check the strength of felt pens and press the rod inward, pressing on it. Therefore, it is better to choose markers with a wide rod or a special design that does not allow the core to be pinched in. Pay attention to this when choosing the markers for your child.

There is one more kind of markers - with stamps .They have a seal instead of a rod. Working with these tools is very exciting for children, but up to 4 years old children do not know how to accurately put seals themselves and they are lubricated, so do not give them to babies.

Felt-tip pens with

stamps There are also markers for boards, they can be painted on a special children's easel or dostochke. They are usually washed with a dry cloth. Some need to wash wet. Children are very fond of drawing on boards, because the drawing can always be corrected or changed, and then wipe and draw something else.
