Educational Stimulation for Children
Happy with small canvas, small palette, small brush for painting. 😍 Why do children need to be stimulated by this kind of activity? Because creative experiences such as painting, drawing, making collages encourage children to use their fine motor skills. Moreover, as Gardner stated, the pictorial stage represents not only the progression of children's fine motor skills, but also a shift in their intellectual, or cognitive, development. This cognitive shift is a result of children's abilities to use symbols to represent real objects and ideas.
