Your child is now able to draw lines, simple shapes like circle, square and a few letters. He will create drawings that are more real in nature. For example, drawing a person, a house, a tree. He will use 2 or more shapes to make simple drawings. He can trace over simple shapes and simple forms using tracing paper. He will love working with colours, paints, crayons and other art media.
