## The Significance of Drawing for Preschool Children
Do you remember the feeling of happiness when you first drew your own picture? Even if they were just scribbles, circles, and distortions, it was a rich and funny world of imagination for children.
Drawing is not just a recreational activity, but also brings countless unexpected benefits to preschool children:
### Develops Thinking and Imagination:
Drawing helps children express their thoughts and feelings about the world around them. Through each stroke, children are free to create, imagine, and express their individuality. “Every child is a born artist,” shared Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa – Teacher at Hoa Sen Kindergarten, Hanoi. “The important thing is that we create conditions for children to freely express themselves.”
### Trains Fine Motor Skills:
When holding a pen to draw and color, children will train the dexterity and flexibility of their hands, thereby developing intelligence, observation, and memory skills.
### Nurtures the Soul:
Preschool children’s drawings are often innocent and pure, expressing joy and love of life. When immersed in the world of colors, children will feel happy, comfortable, relaxed, and their souls will be nurtured.
