“Draw a worm, draw a snake, draw a bird, draw a fish…” – Hearing the familiar lullaby, my heart suddenly swells with childhood memories. Drawing, an activity that seems simple, yet holds a magical world, where bright young sprouts are nurtured and developed. So, what’s special about a preschool drawing program? Let’s explore with “TUỔI THƠ”!
Preschool Drawing: A Journey to Unleash Creative Potential
Preschool drawing programs are a journey of sowing seeds for the future generation, helping children develop comprehensively in physical, intellectual, and emotional aspects. Like the proverb “Master one skill, honor life,” practicing drawing skills from a young age helps children:
Enhance Thinking and Creativity Skills
Drawing is an activity that helps children express themselves, think independently, and come up with unique ideas. Through drawing, children can imagine, create, and turn their ideas into reality.
Develop Fine Motor Skills
Holding a pen and controlling strokes helps children train the dexterity and flexibility of their hands, enhancing hand-eye coordination.
Promote Language and Communication Development
Besides describing what they draw, children also develop communication skills, exchange, and share emotions and thoughts with friends and adults.
Help Children Learn and Absorb Knowledge Effectively
Drawing is not just a recreational activity but also an effective learning method. Children can learn about shapes, colors, sizes, animals, objects… through their drawings.
Preschool Drawing Programs Suitable for Each Age Group
Preschool drawing programs are scientifically designed to suit each age group, psychology, and learning ability of children.
Preschool Stage (3-5 years old):

The Story of “Little Rose”
Early childhood education expert Nguyen Thi Mai, author of the book “The Art of Early Childhood Education,” once shared: “I remember the first time I taught drawing to a 4-year-old girl, she was very shy and didn’t dare to hold a pen. I told her a story about a little rose, a rose that wanted to show off its beauty to the world but was hesitant. I guided her to draw the rose, each petal, each leaf, and finally, the little rose bloomed in her painting. At that moment, I saw joy radiating on her face, it was the joy of discovery and creation. Since then, she has become more confident and loves drawing more.”
