By the age of 2, the child is already able not only to distinguish colors, but also to compare them. The visual analyzer of children at this age is well formed, so it is important to develop the ability to draw. It is especially important to pay attention to the shades, since it is easier for the baby to name the primary colors: red, green, blue. Drawing for kids 2-3 years old is a game that can improve fine motor skills, visual perception, and positively affect brain areas.

Learning to draw a child 2-3 years old

Get the most out of your image. The child first draws with vertical, wavy lines. It is still difficult for him to paint objects.

First line technique

First you need to introduce the child to the subjects of drawing. The hand should hold the pencil correctly, the brush is rinsed in a glass of water. The best way to learn is to demonstrate. You can sit at the table next to the baby, take a pencil and start drawing your drawing, or try to control the child's hand. You need to take more paper to spread it all over the table.

Important! It should be understood that drawing with children 2-3 years old starts small. To begin with, you need to be content with incomprehensible lines.

The benefits of drawing for child development

Drawing helps to quickly learn the world, but this is not the only plus of such activities, there are others:

• development of fine motor skills of the hands. At 2 years old, the baby learns to hold objects, guiding them correctly. Children become smarter, speech develops faster. Psychologists describe the presence of reflex points on the fingers, from which the signal enters the brain. From their stimulation mental faculties develop;
• the emergence of purposefulness;
• figurative thinking. In the future, for memorization, it is important to associate objects with images;
• focusing attention and imagination;
• development of mathematical abilities and logic. The shapes of objects, comparison, equality are simple concepts in mathematics that are laid down from childhood.

How to interest a child

In any business, the most important thing is interest. You can teach to draw if the child loves this business. There are several ways:

• Emotional perception of an adult. The parent should praise, rejoice. Through the emotions of an adult, you can succeed in drawing a child.
• Turn the lesson into a game. You can come up with a game plot that will be interesting to the baby. For example, a bunny asks for a carrot, you need to draw it. The game must be filled with meaning. You can conduct a dialogue, show the child a hare toy.
• Process. Do not forget about the most important thing. The first drawing will definitely impress the little one, so there should be a lot of different paints, pencils, felt-tip pens on the table. Many new objects - the main attribute of the first "picture". The second and third pictures will be even better.

Image tricks

To understand how to teach a child to draw at 3 years old, you need to consider image techniques. From the many, you can choose the most effective for the baby.

Poke reception

• Poke drawing. An adult selects the plot of the template to be supplemented. It is recommended to choose a semi-dry hard bristle brush with gouache paint. A marker will work too. You can color a snowman, animals, plants. This technique will help you learn to color.
• Soaking. For this method, it is better to choose paints. The child holds the brush diagonally closer to the table (in the poke technique vertically) and leaves brush marks. These can be traces of an animal, lights on a Christmas tree, patterns on clothes. You can print a black and white picture on a printer or draw it yourself.
• Fingerprints. Put some paint on a white sheet, show how you can draw with your fingers. You should carefully approach the choice of colors, because the skin of babies is very delicate, prone to allergies and irritations. It is worth choosing gouache, watercolor.
• Line drawing. This is a more complex stage, which must be introduced after learning the first three techniques described above.

Workspace organization

The workplace should both attract and teach organization.

• First you need to take care of the health of the child. The table and chair in the set must be matched to the height of the baby. The back is rigid for correct posture. During work, you need to monitor his body position, carefully guide, without knocking him off work.
• Interesting design. It's always nice when the baby's table fits the interior of the room, but don't forget about visual perception. The workplace should attract the baby.
• Before drawing with children 2-3 years old, you need to prepare a table. It is advisable to do this with a child. Carefully laid out paints, pencils will teach him to order. Everything needs to be cleaned up after class. Again, you can come up with a game that will teach the child to keep order, then in the future in the classroom at school he will keep his workplace clean.

How to teach a 3 year old to draw

The first image should interest the child so that next time he starts drawing again. To teach a child of 3 years to draw, you can apply one of the techniques.

Hatching for coloring pages

• The coloring technique will help the child to choose the right colors. You need to help him not to go beyond the line by painting two or three objects yourself. You need to start with simple coloring pages: a house, a car made of figures, a flower.
• Hand tools technique. You can try to draw with toy vehicles or threads. They can lay out patterns, then paint.
• Drawings that develop mathematical skills: lines, ovals, circles. They can be provided as templates. For example, a drawing of a boy with colorful balloons.

Interesting image options can give the child more knowledge. The right choice of coloring is the task of the parent.

You can make your own coloring in the form of the seasons, combining all the techniques of the image.

• autumn: priming technique for colorful leaves;
• winter: poke reception for the Christmas tree. The winter landscape offers a lot of ideas (snowman to understand the figures, sports equipment to get to know the activity);
• spring: priming technique for drawing buds and first leaves;
• summer: understanding shapes (ice cream), poke drawing (flowers).

What topic to choose

Parents often have questions about how best to draw: step by step painting over objects or first look at the finished result. It is difficult for a kid to select the exact colors for objects, so it is better to initially demonstrate how, for example, a flower should look, and then step by step complete the drawing.

picture palms

Do I need to send my child to a drawing circle?

The optimal age for teaching a baby in a circle is 4-6 years. Your baby's social communication skills should develop gradually.

Important! A sharp introduction to a group of guys can be stressful for him. No need to rush into learning, the basic basics can be mastered at home.

Psychologists note the importance of adult-child feedback. Drawing not only gives certain skills, but also brings parents and the baby closer. Teachers advise starting with coloring pages so that the child remembers the object itself. It is still difficult for him to portray a flower that he saw on the street once. The goal of drawing for kids 2-3 years old can be simple lines.

The first "picture" for the baby is a step towards a complex activity. It is useful to develop drawing skills to improve mental ability. When choosing the basic techniques, you need to choose the most suitable and interesting for the child. Do not forget about personal contact with the baby, then drawing will not just be a lesson, but will develop into a hobby.

Butterflies pattern.

Progress:

Talk to children about butterflies. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects. They are unique in their beauty, shape, color. You can discuss the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Then discuss their colorful wing coloration.
Let's get to work. Let's come up with a color for butterflies.
Butterfly templates are distributed.

We take a template, paints. We use bright colors. Each butterfly will be different from the previous butterfly. For example, for the first butterfly we use yellow color. Dip your finger in the paint and draw patterns on the butterfly wings with dots.

Then dip your finger in red. Similarly, we create a pattern for the second butterfly.

We continue our work with great interest and admiration. We take blue paint. Feel free to dip your finger and also draw patterns. We get another beautiful butterfly this time.

Butterflies usually fly in a clearing where there are many flowers. They drink nectar from flowers. Therefore, these delightful insects love flowers. To make our butterflies more fun, let's draw flowers for them. Let's go yellow again. Draw dots around the butterflies. The more flowers, the more colorful the clearing.

We take red paint. Adding petals to our flowers.

The drawing is ready. Simple and interesting work that any child will like. We make a frame and decorate the group with it.

For example, consider the work done by the same drawing technique, caterpillars.
We draw the heads of two caterpillars.

Dip your finger in green and draw the body of the caterpillar.

We continue.

Similarly, we draw the second caterpillar.

And add flowers. Middles first.

Then petals.

A very simple technique for doing work will interest children in trying their strength and effort again and again. Be ready to bring new ideas to the little artist.
Thank you for your attention!

Sometimes adults find it difficult what to draw with children 3 years old. They seem to be so stupid. Of course, three-year-olds can do a little. But if we create conditions for development, we will see results not only in drawing.

Who do we draw with?

Let's share our own experience in choosing topics for drawing with Mishenka, 2.5 years old. Mishenka is an active, active boy. I am familiar with paints and brushes. He himself does not remember drawing. But when he sees a container with paints, he says: "Come on paints."

Skills. Firmly knows red and yellow paint. Blue and green are sometimes confused. Draws a circle (uneven) on its own. Vertical, horizontal and any other similar lines are not yet drawn independently and consciously. While trying to round off the line drawn by an adult with his hand and turn it into a spot if it is short.

Tasks

• Orientation on the sheet and in space: top-bottom.
• The use of primary colors (blue, yellow, red, green) as intended.

Drawing conditions

The first prerequisite is a small motivating story.

The machine lived and lived (animal toy, doll ...). One day she wanted to go for a walk. I went out into the street from the garage (at home, mink ...), and everywhere there was a swamp. Let's draw a path for her, shall we?

The second prerequisite is to play with what is drawn. You can only play with dried drawings. Dry them with a hair dryer if the baby is not afraid of his "buzz".

Typical class time: 10 minutes. Like in kindergarten. After about this time, Mishenka says: "I'm tired." Gets up and leaves. It is useless to force a child of this age to work additionally. So we try to fit everything planned in the lesson into 10 minutes.

Themes for drawing

We immediately clarify: joint work is expected. We have already drawn something, something is just planned.

It is useful sometimes to give free drawing. paints are not in jars, but on a palette. So we minimize losses, because the colors will be mixed and become shades of a pleasant marsh color. Freedom is not limited within the sheet (better than a large one). Be sure to discuss the results of creativity, even if it is a big blot. For an adult blot, and the kid sees the whole story.

And another rule for those who want the ideal right away. It all starts with one hesitant step with support.

1. Tracks are vertical.

The brush is wide (so that a small car can pass). Paints of one or all primary colors. When drawing, we comment: "The path (color) starts at the top and runs down."

2. Tracks are horizontal.

Same as vertical. A car can drive, any small animal toy can move. Thanks to different options for playing, you can draw tracks many times, of different colors, widths, lengths. Only not in a row, but alternating with other drawings. To not get bored.

3. Wavy track.

I'm not sure what will work, but we'll try to draw.

The sun (circle), grass (vertical lines at the bottom of the sheet), berries, flowers (of different colors by sticking or poking). Drawing lines-blades of grass: put a point, the child draws a line down from it.

5. Holiday.

Colored balls. Circles and ovals of different colors. Draw the threads with a felt-tip pen.

6. Rain.

Theme: sky-earth (top-bottom). First we look out the window (we are from the second floor). Where there is a sky above and flowers below.

Drawing: a cloud in the sky (horizontal lines), flowers on the ground (circles of different colors). From the clouds, raindrops drip onto the ground so that the flowers (multi-colored rounded shapes) drink some water. Option: puddles on the ground. A lot of drops dripped. Let's go walk in the puddles.

If the pile on the brush is soft, draw raindrops by priming. We have a bristle brush from the hardware store. She withstands Mishenka's pokes. Drawing with poke, kids concentrate raindrops (flowers, berries ...) usually in one place. It is useful to show empty space in the picture and say: "And here the rain has not passed yet."

5. Tales. "Kolobok".

We draw a kolobok with handles (we count fingers), eyes, a mouth in the upper left corner of the sheet. (In general, everything drawn is considered). From it is a path with sequentially encountered animals.

We draw animals schematically, only heads: a hare is a circle with long ears, a wolf is a circle with a toothy mouth, a bear is an oval, flattened from top to bottom, with round ears, a fox is a triangle with triangular ears. Draw the attention of the child to the features of animals: the ears are long, round, sharp.

To the question: who is drawn where, Mishenka absolutely correctly listed everything, showed who ate the kolobok.

6. Tales. Teremok.

Top of the sheet: draw a teremok - a rectangle (walls), a triangle (roof), a square (window). The animals will be drawn below all in a row. Telling a story and drawing at the same time. Looks like this.

Let's draw a fairy tale about the tower, shall we? Stands in the field Teremok. It has walls (vertical lines), floor, ceiling (horizontal lines). And so on.

Here are the options: we draw with the child’s hand or on a separate sheet, showing an example of how I can (this is for older guys). The option depends on the skills of the baby.

There will also be a topic for drawing with a baby, we will write.

Drawing is a very interesting kind of applied art, drawings with paints for children allow you to develop personal qualities in children, instill in them a sense of taste. Studying with a child, you can teach him to think, think, feel. It is especially useful to draw with paints with young children. After all, drawing a year, they develop fine motor skills of the hand, which is very useful for mental development.

At two years old, children not only willingly play with blocks, but also show interest in drawing. Here, mom has the opportunity to show all her creative imagination. You can draw almost anything. It can be chairs, toys, dishes, a beloved cat.

Drawings with paints for children will help to fully prepare the baby for further education at school. Firstly, hand coordination and fine motor skills for 4 years improve, and secondly, intelligence can be developed.

Well, making precise movements with a brush or pencil is a great way to prepare your hand for writing.

You can teach in a playful way to distinguish colors and paints, determine sizes and teach elementary counting. Drawing helps to cope with psychological complexes up to 7 years.

Since simple paint drawings can be started early enough, it is not necessary to wait until the child asks for drawing tools. To begin with, you can draw yourself, saying “look what I will draw,” and the baby can easily act as a spectator. A baby at 4 months of age will not yet be able to hold a pencil or brush.

At the same time, not only pencils and paints can act as materials. You can master finger painting with the help of fingers and palms.

What colors are suitable for children's creativity

To date, in stores you can buy paints that are ideal for children's creativity. Among them:

• Special finger painting kits for children 2 years old.

Related article: What types and shapes are there for drawing brushes and how to choose them?

• Gouache paints - from the age of four.

• Watercolor from 6 years old.

Since we plan to start drawing lessons from 2-3 years old, it is worth choosing finger ones. For children 3-4 years old, you can switch to gouache and watercolor.

Drawing with paints for children should not be monotonous. It is not necessary to color a regular sheet of paper. You need to gradually add new elements.

On the video: how to simply and beautifully draw an octopus with paints.

What drawings should I start with?

If we are learning to draw, then we need to start with the simplest. As you gain experience and skills, the task will become more difficult. Working with a child, you do not need to ensure that he does everything right. Children must go through the stage of marania. This stage continues until about two years of age. At first, the baby will simply scribble pencils on paper.

However, a little more can be taught at this time. Note:

1. With children 2-3 years old, you can master the skills of working with a pencil, felt-tip pen and brush.
2. From five, carefully put dots, make lines, circles, an oval, paint over drawings with strokes.
3. With seven, it’s really possible to master the skills of composition.

Easy Drawing Lessons for Toddlers

These simple drawing lessons I usually spend with kids. Very interesting are children's drawings in the technique of finger painting. Here's how to do it:

1. Invite your child to dip their finger into the paint. Now put your finger on a sheet of paper, you get a speck.
2. Help draw a petal or some kind of caterpillar.
3. Drawing lines, draw rays, like the sun.

Now let the child try to draw something himself. As his hands become more confident at 5 years old, you can teach him how to use a brush. You need to show the kid the three basic skills of drawing with a brush, show how to rinse it before picking up new paint.

There are several ways to paint with a brush:

• Soaking. We draw, lightly touching the paper, and immediately remove the brush, causing spots of paint. Have a 3-year-old child observe how the image is made.
• Brushstroke technique. Carefully draw lines from the age of 3 in a variety of directions. Let them differ in length.
• Draw a sketch with a pencil with 8. First, make the main lines and sketch with a pencil, and then paint.

As skills develop, the tasks will become more difficult. There are some very interesting techniques. They can be mastered by conducting regular classes with the child. To consolidate a particular skill, several lessons are required.

Ideas for children's drawings (19 photos)

Teaching kids 2-3 years old to draw is not only an important period in the development of visual skills and imagination, but also for the subsequent formation of a creative personality.

How to teach a child to draw?

The main thing when learning to draw is to create a "live" image and vivid impressions. After all, all children learn the world through the game. Not a single kid sat down at a desk voluntarily and began to display boring squiggles. Therefore, the union of an adult and a child, based on mutual understanding and respect, will be important in this process. Remember, in creativity you are not a teacher, but a friend of the child. Do not put your skills and abilities on a pedestal, but sink to his level. Do not teach, do not advise “at hand”, but show how to do it at the beginning of the lesson. And then just sit down and watch.

You can not force the baby to draw, it can discourage him from wanting to in the future!

Getting started with drawing With children 2 years old It's important to get the timing right. It is better to give preference to the first half of the day, when the child's brain is not yet overloaded with information, and a lot of strength has been accumulated. A distinctive feature of classes at 2 years old is a close connection with the outside world, because at this age kids are very curious and absorb information like sponges.

Drawing Withchildren at 3 years old also has a number of features. As a rule, kids of 3 years old already have certain preferences in themes for the game and favorite characters. Therefore, in order to teach a child to perform the exercises below, you need to intrigue him. Tell an interesting story, for example, about a hedgehog, and then offer to help him pick apples.

What to draw?

Many parents mistakenly go from simple to complex. They give a child a felt-tip pen at the age of 2, suggesting to teach him to draw without making any effort. After all, felt-tip pens are so bright and they are so easy to draw with! But this way, on the contrary, is the most difficult. After all, then you will have to retrain the child to hold the pencil correctly and learn to press it in order to draw a line on paper. With effort, when you press the pencil from early childhood, the baby trains the pen, develops fine motor skills. It will be easier for him to prepare for school, and study itself. Therefore, it is better not to give the baby a felt-tip pen until the age of 4, until he fully masters the skill of drawing with a pencil.

What pencils to choose?

Here all teachers are unanimous - trihedral. They exclude the possibility of taking a pencil incorrectly. For kids who are just learning to hold a pencil, triangular wax pencils are suitable, and for older children, wooden ones with a soft lead.

So, let's get to work!

"Acquaintance"

Target: introduce the baby to pencils, rules of use, ways of possession.
Material: sheet of white paper, colored pencils.

Class

Take a sheet of paper and a red pencil. Draw a big and small circle. The child will watch the process with interest: for the first time he sees how the outline of a familiar object appears on a blank sheet of paper.

Invite him to take a pencil in his right hand.

Demonstrate how to properly hold the pencil with your thumb, middle and index fingers, without pressing hard on the paper and without tearing through it.

Holding the child's hand with a pencil, draw a circle shape. Let go of his hand. Let him try to repeat the movements himself.

Of course, it will be difficult for a child to reproduce the outline of a round shape from the first time. So start with a simple line. Let the kid develop his own hand, creating his own little masterpieces.

The main thing is that he is interested in the process itself, and the result will certainly please later.

"Rain"

Target: teach to draw strokes, strengthening and weakening the movements of the hand with a pencil.
materials: colored pencils, a sheet of paper with a gray shape - “clouds”.

Class

Pay attention to the change in the weather in nature: the sun is shining, then clouds are running in, blocking the sun and it starts to rain.

Show a drawing with a silhouette image of a gray cloud. "What is this? Cloud. It's raining drip-drip-drip"

Take a blue pencil and draw strokes, then increasing the rhythm of the rain, then weakening.

Comment on your actions with pencil movements. "There are puddles on the path." Draw an oval shaped puddle.

Invite the child to continue drawing, encouraging him to first increase the rhythm of the strokes, and then weaken.

Pay attention to hand coordination.

"Balloons for a bear"

Target: teach rotational movements, correctly hold a pencil in your hand without breaking through a sheet of paper.
Materials: colored pencils, a white sheet of paper with a pasted bear and drawn threads for balls.

Class

As an illustrative example, show a toy - a bear that holds a red balloon in its paw.

Ask the child what color is the balloon? Give him a red pencil, remind him how to hold it correctly in his hand.

Invite your child to draw balls for a bear on a previously prepared sheet of paper with an image of an animal.

Help the child by holding and guiding the pen and pencil.

"Apples for the hedgehog"

Target: develop a plot and game plan, teach rotational movements.
Material: a sheet of paper with the image of a hedgehog application, colored pencils, a hedgehog - a toy.

Help him complete the task by telling stories about the hedgehog and acting out the story of how he stores mushrooms and apples for the winter.

Show a sheet with a picture of a hedgehog application without needles.

Invite the child to draw needles with short strokes, then apples and mushrooms.

Help him if he finds it difficult to depict these objects.

"My fingers"

Target: learn to trace objects along the contour.
Material: colored pencils, sheet of paper.

Class

Place the child's hand on a sheet of paper and circle it along the contour, naming each finger.

Offer to paint them in different colors.

Then ask your child to repeat your actions on their own.

"Tassel"

Target: introduce new material: paints, brushes, teach the rules for using paints.
materials: paint - red gouache, brushes No. 8-10, sheets of white paper, a jar of water, napkins.

Class

Remind them that the child first learned to draw with colored pencils.

Now he will learn to draw with paints.

Draw his attention to a jar of bright color and a brush, which consists of a stick and soft pile.

Show your child how to draw.

First, dip the brush into the paint, wring out excess drops on the edge of the jar and draw a wide line on the paper.

The result was a "path". Then, firmly applying the brush to a sheet of paper, depict its traces: "walking along the path."

Make circular movements with the brush - it "dances". Draw a circle and sticks around - this is the sun.

Then invite the child to draw.

To do this, put the brush in his handle, holding it with your hand, dip the brush into the paint, squeeze out excess drops on the edge of the jar and draw a line.

Do everything slowly and carefully, voicing your actions.

During the paint change, show how to rinse the brush in a jar of water, and then dry it by applying it to a paper towel.

Give the child freedom of movement, controlling the process.

Encourage experimentation with paint, painting the surface of the sheet with paints of different colors.

At the end of the lesson, rinse the brush, review and discuss the work done.

"Who lives in the forest"

Target: teach motor rhythm.
Materials: a sheet of paper painted in light gray tones with applications of tree silhouettes, a brush, paints, a jar of water, napkins.

Class

Think about the inhabitants of the forest: hares, hedgehogs, bears, foxes and wolves. Read poems, riddles, sing songs.

Draw, on a pre-prepared sheet, with the tip of a brush, small traces of a hare, as he jumps and runs.

Large footprints of a wolf that ran through the forest.

Then, with the whole bristle of the brush, large strokes are traces of a bear, as he walks through the forest.

After showing the drawing technique, invite the child to draw footprints on their own and tell to whom which belong.

"Snowball"

Target: learn to draw with strokes in different parts of the paper.
Materials: a blue sheet of paper, white paint, brushes No. 8-12, a jar of water, napkins.

Sing familiar melodies about the winter season.

Invite the child to draw a white snowball and make a few strokes.

Against a blue background, white snow will look very impressive.

Ask the child to repeat the strokes: in different parts of the paper, apply “falling snow” with strokes.

Important to remember! Expanding your understanding of the world around you, do not forget to encourage the baby in all his endeavors.

"Firework"

Target: use different colors of paints, the ability to wash the brush when changing paint.

Materials: a sheet of dark blue paper, paints of different colors, a brush, a jar of water, napkins.

Class

Relive the impressions of the fireworks seen.
