Art
- The child has learned how to hold and control a pencil or stylus while drawing.
- They have learned basic shapes and how to combine them to create more complex drawings.
- The child has also learned about shading and adding depth to their drawings.
- They have developed their fine motor skills by using the online drawing tools.
Continued development can be encouraged by providing the child with a variety of art materials such as paints, clay, or collage materials. Encourage them to experiment with different techniques and explore their creativity. It would also be beneficial to expose them to different artists and art styles through books or museum visits, as this can inspire their own artistic expression.
