The 5-year-old period is the time when children's brains easily absorb knowledge and form the strongest personality. Instead of letting young children watch TV or use phones too much, parents should encourage them to participate in extracurricular activities, in which painting will stimulate creativity and children's abilities.
Accordingly, the 3 benefits below that parents should teach and guide their children to learn to draw as early as possible.
Stimulate creative thinking
When participating in extracurricular activities, children will not be constrained by 4 walls or too much technological influence. Changes in the atmosphere and scenery will stimulate children's thinking to be more creative.
Children can freely mix painting colors according to their imagination to redraw what they feel. This helps nurture the artistic soul and train the brain very well for young children.
Practice observation skills
Learning painting will help young children practice observation skills, focusing on looking at everything around to sketch on paper. They will begin to recognize the difference between the green of trees or the diverse shapes of flowers...
This process requires children to practice observation skills and image analysis skills. Thanks to that, the brain will train the ability to remember details. This is an extremely important skill for children's future learning.
Improve physical and mental health
Besides the intellectual benefits, participating in extracurricular activities also makes a positive contribution to children's physical development. Fresh air helps young children breathe better. Sunlight provides vitamin D to help strengthen the bone system.
In addition, gentle exercise when participating in extracurricular activities will help children burn more energy to have a better and deeper sleep at night.
