Having fun with drawing and writing with preschoolers is an important stage of development. See below.

There are four stages of drawing and writing for kids between 15 months and 3 years old. The key is to offer repeated and fun experiences in order to see progress over time. Check out this article for tips to encourage your child’s early writing skills.

Highlight text and print around us for young children to learn that writing has meaning!

[The Hanen Centre @TheHanenCentre]

Point to and read the print on household items to show that writing has meaning. For example, you could point out the writing on shampoo bottles, clothing and stickers on fruits and vegetables, explaining what the labels say and why they’re helpful.
