Logic is very keenly developed in children. By the time the go to pre school they are extremely observant and will relate to color coherently. This is also the time to show them word pictures and some basic things in shape. Use shape and color and let them acknowledge the same. Drawing or painting is surely a skill but in case of children this can be explored very early.

As kids learn to do their slanting lines and standing lines with crayon the same can be explored in making them to scribble. Thick variety crayon or pastel crayons are prescribed for this activity. When they learn about shapes, draw a square in the corner of the white coloring sheet. Draw several square shaped items like a biscuit with dots or a house or a toy box. They will naturally learn the same.

For all kids the scenery is a natural charm. They love the asymmetrical shapes of clouds or a brook. Let them begin with coloring. It is always better to let them scribble a lot so that their hand gets steady. By five they are able to comprehend situations like smoke coming from a chimney of a house or steam emitted by a train. They are able to draw a bus, flower pot, tiny flowers and simple things like fish or clouds.

As they begin to show their interest, let them begin some more ideas with drawing different types of trees or valleys and mountains. It is difficult to translate your ideas to them and hence it is advisable to invest in books that teach step-by-step basics to learn new things. Human figures are easily grasped by them. Let them draw a flying bird, a bird perched on a branch and also a monkey.

The progress is slow or gradual. They surely have a favorite color and it might seem that they keep using the same. We need to explain to them about color combinations and they have their own world of imagination which is expressed by a Popsicle, balloons or pebbles. Admiration and praises help them to create more unique attempts.
