Drawing with kids. Drawing for the little ones (finger paints, paint recipes for children)

Hello precious Leonards and Goyas!

Please forgive me for the mangled names of great artists (Leonardo Da Vinci and Francisco Goya), but I often call my son that when he paints.

Introducing children to the world of art and self-expression - important task, which comes first before loving parents. Drawing with a baby from 1 year old will not only be a way to captivate a toddler, but also a very useful activity for him, helping to develop abilities and character.

The benefits of creativity

Drawing is an interesting and accessible type of developmental activity. In addition to taste, learning color and shape, the baby learns to hold a brush, a pencil.

First drawing (from 1 year old)

10 simple steps for the first lessons will make it easier for mom to understand the actions. What and how to do.

1. Toddlers from a year old can be offered to create with their palms and fingers. If your kid is older, but he was not familiar with drawing lessons before, then also start with simple lessons.

2. For drawing on initial stage suitable finger gouache or Finger paint, which is essentially the same. The composition of this product is completely suitable to taste it. However, it does not replace food, and mother needs to constantly watch so that the baby’s hand is not in her mouth.

3. We also need a large sheet of paper, because the movements of the little ones have not yet been perfected and will definitely go beyond the small format of the album.

Whatman paper or a roll of wallpaper is ideal. You can sit on the table or on the floor. If the room is warm, you can leave the baby in panties alone - he will draw on himself! Yes, this is how they get acquainted with the paint, they all like to draw on themselves. Then you just have to carefully carry the young Leonardo to the bathroom.

4. Show your child the colors. I poured a little into the lid and only then gave it to Danila. Dip the child's finger in the paint and print on the sheet, the child must understand that the paint leaves a mark on the paper.

5. Draw a plot in advance, which after, complete with the baby. Designate the earth, a cloud, a circle-sun, stems, a tree with branches and call the baby.

6. Be sure to talk about what's going on. Your story stimulates attention, develops speech. To begin with, we draw with our fingers, and then with a sponge you can smear your palm and fingers and show the baby how to spank on paper, after which beautiful patterns remain.

7. Put dots that will symbolize the rain falling to the ground from the clouds. After the rain, grass and foliage grow on the tree - with our fingers we draw small green lines.

8. In the first lessons, try not to use a lot of colors. Two, maximum three, more than enough.

At the moment of color change, focus on the fact that you need to wash off the paint and only after that use the next one. (I had a small bowl of water prepared in advance, and I rubbed my fingers and palms with a sponge so as not to constantly drag the child to the bathroom. After all, you can lose interest in the activity along the way).

9. Now you can smear your entire palm with yellow paint and leave prints around the sun, so you get rays. Well, with the advent of the sun and heat, flowers bloom. The trace from the palm at the end of the stem is a blossoming flower. The picture is ready, it can be hung in the nursery.

10. One-year-old children in creativity prefer abstraction, provide freedom. Some children are given for their mother to lead the drawing process, while others, on the contrary, resist and smear themselves wherever they want. In this case, give free rein to the artist, let him create!

This is the picture we got:

Subject drawings are possible, as described above, you can draw individual objects. There are many options for such games, you can come up with anything.

The main thing to remember is that it will not work smoothly, beautifully, accurately now. Circles, dots, lines, little men - cucumbers, waves - perfect option drawings in 1 year. With the accumulation of experience and practice, the picture will become more interesting.

In order for the drawing process to bring pleasure to both you and the child, both in the first lesson and in subsequent ones, you need to prepare for learning:

Think of a place where the child will create. If the choice fell on a room with a light carpet, then it is unlikely that mom will be able to relax.
Dress your child in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
Prepare an apron, drawing items, a rag, if you plan to draw with your hands, then take care of wet wipes or a towel.
Be sure to tell your child that you can’t drink water or try paints.
Encourage creative activity and drawn to her.

Of course, you don’t need to wait for the perfect result - the figures will be uneven, most likely the fidget will mix colors, make a few blots, and even a large paper size will not protect the floor from paint stains.

But burning eyes positive emotions and the benefit received by the child while drawing is not comparable to the disasters caused. Therefore, mom should relax and also enjoy the process.

How was your introduction to finger paints? Did everyone like it?

Or did you paint yourself and your mother, as well as the floor and the table?

In any case, I think the child liked it, mothers do not always like it, but what can you do.

So, are we going to do more?

We continue drawing with kids from 1 year old and go further in our knowledge.

For drawing, we still use finger paints and draw with our fingers to consolidate the skill. While drawing, be sure to say where the color is a hundred times and your baby will quickly learn the colors.

Parents also come to the aid of special drawing notebooks . They greatly facilitate the process and help out if the time for inventing is limited. Simple drawings with large details are suitable for the kid, some have inserts with stickers. There are a wide variety of such notebooks on the market.

I offer you several templates that you can download, print and finger paint with your baby.

My son and I also love coloring pages . I take simple plots or monosyllabic characters so that the child understands what kind of picture is depicted. And it is desirable to cut this coloring into separate sheets, because your artist does not spare paint and smears from the heart, your coloring will simply stick together.

I also offer a few simple drawings for cutting, with which the baby may already be familiar.

Do you remember the famous school line?

It can also be purchased in stationery to this day. Here you kill two birds with one stone: teach geometric figures and make up various animals or objects from them:

You can also make any stencils yourself from an old box.

Or to regular lids from plastic bottles glue the drawings you cut out.

We continue to be surprised at the work of the baby and now we already have some success. We can stay longer for this activity and it is exciting and interesting for us.

Let's move on to more meaningful drawing.

You can invite the baby to choose materials for creativity:

In general, draw and draw again!

May the fantasy be with you! Bye bye everyone!

Do not forget about the comments and run into the social. networks.

- it is not only interesting and fun, but also very useful. With its help, fine motor skills develop, and the baby makes his first progress in mastering color schemes. The tools are the fingers and palms of little artists, the “object for smearing” is special paints, and the first teacher is mom. How to organize the first lesson, how to develop fine motor skills? You will find answers to these and other questions in this article.

Developing fine motor skills in children

Psychologists believe that you can start creative experiments with finger paints from 10-11 months. Even then, the baby can trace the relationship of paint and trace on paper. But it is better to focus on the individuality of your child. If he is already free to crawl or on his feet and is carried away with might and main research activities, it's time to introduce him to creativity and introduce him to finger paints.

It is advisable to start finger painting in the morning, when the child's activity is higher. The kid will remind you about the end of the lesson, because for a long time it is simply not possible to keep the attention of a one-year-old baby. The first lessons, as a rule, do not last long - just a couple of minutes. In the future, an enthusiastic child, without stopping, can draw up to 15–20 minutes.

What will be needed for finger drawing? First of all, special finger paints, you can buy them in almost any store where there is a department of goods for children's creativity. They have the desired consistency and do not require additional dilution with water. When choosing, pay attention to the jars themselves: they should close tightly so that the paint does not thicken too quickly. For the first experiments in the fine arts, it is better to choose bright, but not "acid" colors. As for paper, A3 size watercolor sheets are preferred. They are large, the baby will be where to "swing". And if you take a roll of old wallpaper, on which you can draw on the reverse side, then there will be no limit to children's happiness at all. And also make a blank - a green leaf on which it sits ladybug. You will need it.

For the first artistic experiments, you can pour a little "adult" blueberry yogurt or baby curd with fruit fillings on a table or table for feeding - let the baby smear them with his fingers or with his whole palm as soon as he wants. Part of the yogurt or cottage cheese can be warmed up a little, and part can be cooled in the refrigerator.

Mixing warm and cold for a child is as useful and interesting as multi-colored. And the tactile sensations from such exercises will become much richer. The soiled palm of a child can be printed on a piece of paper. Keeping such a masterpiece for centuries is not worth it, but it is quite possible to photograph it for memory - as the first work of art.

Drawn and... ate!

1-2 years

All children at this age are not creators, but manipulators. Manipulating with objects, materials and forms, they study their properties and possibilities. To learn about the world, kids use all kinds of feelings and sensations, including taste. Therefore, even at this age, materials for creativity should be absolutely safe.

You should not get carried away with fashionable paints for finger painting yet. Their main advantage is that they are easily rubbed off from any surfaces and washed off from any clothes. But the fact that these colors are very bitter does not always prevent kids from tasting them. So it’s better to opt for edible food coloring again.

A grown-up kid is already able to experience real pleasure from the artistic process. For creative experiments you can give him paper. It is better if these are large sheets with a rough surface - back side old wallpaper or whatman paper.

Can be used as paint boiled beets or its juice, bright berries - blueberries, blueberries or black currants, boiled carrots, greens or spinach. Show the baby what mark these leaves on the sheet. unusual colors adults themselves can.

It is enough for mom, dad or grandmother to smear a puddle of beetroot juice with a finger, crush a bright berry on a leaf or draw a line with a carrot, and the little one will begin to experiment and create with enthusiasm: smearing “paints” with your fingers, clapping your hand over colored blots, changing their shape, mixing unusual paints between themselves.

The child is fascinated by the possibility of a magical transformation of shapes and an unexpected change in color. You can show a kid how to draw a line with a finger, how to draw a stream out of a puddle, how to connect two multi-colored blots together, how to make traces of a small bunny or a mouse with a little finger, and how to depict a large trace of an elephant or bear with a whole palm or fist.

Such finger painting is useful not only for aesthetic, but also for speech development baby - it's not for nothing that speech therapists love so much finger games and finger massage. By training separate finger movements, the baby stimulates the part of the brain responsible for speech.

You can draw not only vegetables and fruits. Finger paints work great with regular semolina - you just need to divide it into portions and add harmless food coloring to each. The porridge should not be very liquid, then the finger strokes are rich, thick.

For semolina paints, you can offer additions in the form of berries to decorate the “masterpiece” or a spoonful of jam (jam) to create a richer color. Of course, very soon the product picture will turn into a homogeneous and not very attractive mass. But the fascination of the process for the child is much more important than the final result. The baby is not yet formed creative thinking, so for now you should not look in his drawings special meaning He just enjoys and rejoices in everything he does.

By the way, parents also have something to rejoice here. As a result of "artistic" exercises, children's fingers were well trained, the child received a rich range of tactile sensations, the stimulation of which contributes to the development of his brain activity and thinking - this relationship has long been proven by scientists.

Enriching the palette

After 2 years

At this age, the child is no longer so interested in continuing to experiment with products. Still, the palette of colors is too poor, the drawings are faded and inexpressive. At this age, children begin to actively use bright felt-tip pens, pencils and brushes for drawing. But this does not mean at all that finger painting should be forgotten as a passed stage. On the contrary, with age, children have new opportunities for mastering this interesting technique. After two years, the child is able to fantasize, guess specific images in the drawn abstractions and develop them. Now the line for him is not just a stick, but a road along which cars drive or a trail from an airplane in a clear sky. A blot is a kitty that curled up into a ball or a cheerful teddy bear with a barrel of honey. The kid does not just create - he lives his creativity. All his works are emotionally colored. Drawing mouse tracks, he squeaks like a mouse, and, guiding the road with his finger, growls like cars that will drive along it. The baby is not always able to create a recognizable image himself, but he willingly develops and complements the proposed images.

Exploring new opportunities

The kid is already old enough to use real art materials - gouache, watercolor or special paints for finger painting. Unlike a brush, the smooth surface of a finger does not hold enough paint to draw a long line, so to create paintings it is better to “dip”, “rub” or “print” paints on paper. To print by hand, the paint must be diluted to the consistency of liquid sour cream and poured thin layer on a flat plate.

It will be useful and interesting for the child to explore the possibilities own hand, because with the help of one - a single palm you can get a huge number of the most different prints, and supplementing them with your own imagination, turn them into real masterpieces. You can smear, draw and print any abstraction, enjoying the color and pictorial coloring. Or to create interesting plot pictures. For example, the imprint of an open palm with fingers down can become a cheerful octopus, you just need to draw eyes and a mouth for it.

With the help of the palms of mom and dad, you can draw a whole family of octopuses different size. And put them on sea bottom, with imprinted pebble fingers and waves or algae, which are obtained by dipping four fingers into the paint and drawing wavy lines in the right direction. And a closed palm will give an imprint of the silhouette of a fish. It remains only to finish her fingers with fins and a tail.

The same palms can turn into magical flowers with finger petals - you can print a whole meadow out of them! Or you can “limit yourself” to the wings of a beautiful bird.

Printed palms with pressed fingers can become amazing butterflies, just draw long antennae on them. The hand, clenched into a fist, makes a round imprint, similar to a shell, or a snail's house. In addition, from the resulting circles, you can print a snowman, and the sun, and a funny little man.

A half-open fist prints an arc.

When printing pads and phalanges of the fingers, impressions are obtained - rectangles or small segments different lengths. Each finger has its own unique fingerprint.

Turning your hands in different ways, and adding recognizable details to the printed elements, you can realize any ideas. Thus, by combining and combining simple elements, the baby develops imagination, spatial and imaginative thinking, finds the first design solutions. With this method of drawing, you can use both hands alternately, or use them simultaneously, which perfectly develops coordination. T

What simple creative exercises are especially important for left-handed children, as they gently stimulate full development right hand. This, at first glance, not too neat and frankly dirty work on large sheets serves as an excellent means for relaxation and relaxation, liberates the child, relieves him of the fear of spoiling something or getting dirty, gives the baby the necessary creative courage, the lack of which often suffers from small artists.

Creativity with mom in the kitchen

Paper and paint are not required attributes for finger painting. Beautiful finger paintings can be created on a tray or baking sheet sprinkled with flour or semolina. A sufficient amount of flour or cereal must be leveled by shaking the tray so that the entire loose mass is distributed in an even, not thick layer. So the impromptu sheet of blank paper is ready. With a finger on it, you can draw any objects or plots that are not overloaded with details. The painted pictures are easy to erase by shaking the tray several times. A kid who is carried away by such unusual drawing will free up a lot of time for a busy cooking mother.

"Artistic" cleaning

Another great place for finger painting is the bathroom. available little artist- the experimenter can be provided with tiled walls, a mirror, and the bath itself. The choice of colors here is limited only by the assortment of the toilet shelf. On the tiles, mirror and bath walls, you can paint with both children's toothpaste and dad's shaving cream. The main thing is that there should be no fat in these “paints” - it is poorly washed.

You can draw by dipping your finger in paste or cream. Or run a clean finger across the dense foam base that you get when you cover a smooth surface with a thin layer of shaving foam. A shaving brush or sponge works well for applying foam. The tile can be used as a basis for ornaments: let the child find a pattern and repeat the mother's drawing on the next tile.

Such hygienic paints will not only entertain the baby, but at the same time help to clean the bathroom. You don’t need to specifically scrub anything, just wash off the drawings with a shower, and the bathroom will only become cleaner. If you want brightness here, you can use gouache or watercolor. These paints are water-soluble and completely washable with plain water.

Instead of paints - plasticine

It will strengthen the fingers even more and prepare them for writing by drawing ... with plasticine. You need to apply a simple drawing to the cardboard base, and then pinch off small pieces of plasticine and smear them with your fingers over the drawing, as if painting over. The work turns out to be finished and very decorative if the entire surface of the picture is covered with such “paints” - both the drawing and the background.

Plasticine pieces mix well with each other and new, unexpected colors are obtained. From afar, this work looks like it was painted in oil. Hands and fingers are universal tool who is always with a child, and instead of paper and canvas, the whole world is at his disposal.

Is it possible to resist and not draw with a tanned finger on the warm sand at the edge of the sea, so that the waves, like a huge eraser, wash away the drawing?

And how not to depict a funny face on the misted glass or not to run a finger along the dusty side of the car?

How not to fancifully open the frost on the frozen window of a trolleybus, if sometimes even adults cannot resist it?

By giving the child to feel and try everything himself, to pass everything through his own hands, we expand the boundaries of his knowledge, creative horizons. After all, a dirty finger can be easily washed with soap or wet wipe, and suppressed in early childhood the desire to create may never wake up.

Ideas for finger drawings

Finger painting is the most accessible form of creativity for babies, starting at six months. Around the age of two or three years, the child will ask his parents to draw something. Then you can go for a little trick. Have your child make prints of paint with their fingers. And then turn them into different drawings: images of animals, flowers, vehicles. Older children will also like this way of finger painting. For any preschooler, the idea is to turn their prints into funny drawings will be to your liking. This is an opportunity to develop fine motor skills, and imagination, and creativity, and the idea of having fun.

Features of finger painting for children, basic techniques for different ages. Drawing ideas and templates.

Toddlers are great explorers and experimenters. Everything is interesting to them, everything attracts their attention. It is often difficult for a child to fall asleep, because something very interesting is happening nearby and it is impossible to miss it.

We draw blots with fingers and palms

This is the name of the book by Robert Pautner, which inspires parents and kids to make homemade masterpieces in painting with paints.
Pediatricians and neonatologists will say that it is important for the baby to act with handles - to take, grab, touch, pick, spin, throw, collect
So it stimulates the center of the brain responsible for the clarity of movements
By the way, it is very close to the zone that coordinates speech. Therefore, by developing the baby's fine motor skills, you stimulate his speech apparatus to pronounce more sounds and words.

However, the benefits of drawing with fingers and palms are:

massage inner surface pens
work stimulation internal organs and systems
development of imagination, spatial orientation, taste for fine arts, causality

Blots are different - ranging from droplets of colored paint to Blank sheet paper and ending with puddles from spilled jars.

Blots can also be called careless prints of fingers, palms, fists of a baby on whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper.
They are also a source of inspiration for creating landscapes, a zoo, underwater world, birds or what surrounds the child every day
Blots are also left by fresh berries, crushed with a small pen over a sheet of paper. They are bright, cheerful and unique. Draw ponytails, muzzles, fruits, hair on the body, spots with a felt-tip pen, pencil or brush and tell the baby who or what happened

Finger painting for kids

The baby is interested in what is happening around him from the first moments of life outside his mother. And one of the main roles in this is assigned tactile sensations, touch the handles.

Research Specialists child development it is recommended to start drawing with the baby from the moment when he independently knows how to hold his body in a sitting position.

Parents should prepare:

a large sheet of paper, drawing paper, or a piece of wallpaper. The latter is even better because it has a corrugated surface that is pleasant for tactile contact.
special children's finger paints or prepared in advance at home
clothes for the baby for creativity, which is not a pity to get dirty. If the house is warm, then just undress the baby. Don't be afraid that it will get dirty. Washing off baby paints is easy
musical background. Works from the classics will do.
Watch the baby, you will find that one melody causes a storm of delight in him, and the second - thoughtfulness and calmer drawings
his good mood and enough free time to process joint creativity did not turn into a scheduled lesson

First, take the crumbs on the handles and place them in the middle of the sheet with it. Put 2-3 cans of paint. He will look, taste them, put a few blots.

You can encourage him to draw by dipping your finger into the paint and placing a few dots/squiggles on the paper. This is how you demonstrate movements and set an example
It is important for a young artist to see that after touching a pen with paint, prints and lines remain on a white sheet. As long as it's enough for him to perceive
The frequency of classes for crumbs up to a year old - twice a week for 5-15 minutes

Finger painting 1 year

The baby of the first year of life may be interested in drawing different colors simultaneously. He likes the process of imprinting fingers, palms, drawing lines and squiggles more.

Give him more opportunities to be creative:

diversify your color palette
invent images of children's drawings and speak out loud
find a place to draw where you too can relax and let your little one spill paint or hand print without damaging the decor
use a large piece of polyethylene to cover the little artist's area

Be prepared for the fact that the baby wants to lick his finger with paint. Therefore, choose finger paints with a safe composition or prepare them yourself. To do this, mix flour 0.5 kg, salt 2 tbsp, sunflower oil 1 tbsp and water to the consistency of liquid sour cream.

Or cook liquid semolina. Next, add to the base natural dyes- juices of beets, carrots, parsley, dill, raspberries, black currants, sea buckthorn. Of course, you must be sure that the baby is not allergic to them.
Draw simple lines, dots, geometric shapes for the child. He still draws from the shoulder, because his masterpieces do not contain clarity and aesthetic beauty.
In the first year, the baby should not be overloaded with work with more than 2-3 flowers at the same time. It is better to combine drawing classes with games to find toys or household items of a particular color. So the baby will remember it and it will be easy to distinguish it from others.

Draw with fingers 2-3 years

After his second birthday, the baby gets acquainted with geometric shapes and draws them.

In addition, he already speaks and is able to paint for a short time. The kid already copes well with the clarity of the lines, does not involve the whole hand in the drawing process, but only the brush and fingers.

Important - use both hands of the child so that his development occurs harmoniously.

Remind him, encourage him to use his other hand.

Make up stories before you start creative work with baby. For example:

draw snowfall, chicken, berries, apples - this is how you stimulate the baby to draw round shapes
rain, a fence near the house, rails and sleepers - the kid learns to draw vertical and horizontal lines
find a specific animal by painting its silhouette

Other study materials finger art will become:

semolina, rice, buckwheat
coffee beans
Sprinkle a small amount of any of these on the lid of a shoe box.
Involve the child in the game, be sure to praise him after the work done

Draw with fingers 3-4 years

Children after the third birthday are interested in more complex plot drawings. Their pens are well versed in the technique of drawing geometric shapes, lines
Children are happy to come up with stories of drawings, tell them to a parent or an adult with whom they are engaged.
But they still need your help. You are participating in creative process as a co-author of the drawing, an active listener, an inspirer to create new details on the sheet

Prepare in advance for a drawing lesson with a child:

come up with a backstory
take pencils, felt-tip pens, brushes, crayons, a paraffin candle to add and diversify the future picture
stock up on napkins, stencils, stamps
choose your favorite character or doll and lead the class on his/her behalf

Drawing techniques that can be applied with a child up to 4 years old:

free area painting
prints of palms, stamps, stencils, fingers, cams
blots, smearing paint droplets with fingers, blowing them up with tubes
smearing, or pressing down drops of paint with paper, transparent film
applying paint over the pattern with paraffin

Even if, instead of the scenario you compiled, the drawing session with the child ended in spilled paint and stains on clothes, translate everything into a game. So the desire to continue drawing the crumbs will remain and your mood will remain good.

Draw a mimosa with your fingers

The task will be interesting to the baby up to 3 years.

Prepare:

blank drawing
yellow paint
glass of water
rag or napkins

First, tell and show the kid about what you expect to see in the final of his work. Come up with a story about mimosa, when it blooms, what holiday it is given to mom
Invite the baby to draw flowers with his fingers, including those that have not yet blossomed. Help him play with shades of yellow paint for this purpose.
At the end of the work, praise the baby for his efforts. Save the drawing in an album or hang it on the wall in a frame

Draw animals with fingers

An exciting activity for a baby from a year old is drawing animals. True than smaller kid, the more imagination parents need to show.

So, a few words about animal drawing techniques:

finger prints in random order vertically, horizontally, obliquely. And the parent draws paws, tails, muzzles with pencils or felt-tip pens
filling finished scheme animal fingerprints or painting. Suitable options drawn by you, printed on a printer, offered in special books for drawing with children
stickers with subsequent coloring
ready-made stamps in the form of animals. They can be made, for example, from cardboard, linoleum

Below are some examples of drawings:

We draw toys with a finger

Toys surround the baby from the very early days. Therefore, the desire to draw them settles in the head of the child. It's so much fun to depict a helicopter, a car or a bear with a doll walking in a forest or a green meadow
You set the tone and help the baby during the creative flight
Finish drawing small parts and name the toy that turned out. compose short story about her and her adventures. So the kid will love to draw with you

Here are some examples of finger painting different toys:

Drawings with paints for children

To make drawing with paints beneficial and joyful for all participants in the process, use a few observations:

cleaning is inevitable after each class, but worth it
teach your kid to wash brushes after the creative process
let him mix all the colors at once and draw with this gruel
from a certain age, ensure that the child has free access to paints and other accessories
remember, the process is important for the baby, not the result
select an area in the house / apartment where the works of the young artist will be constantly exhibited and change them periodically
never throw away the creations of the baby in front of his eyes
come up with fun and fascinating stories before and during drawing with a child
experiment with making flour-based paints and food coloring that are in the house
help your child create different techniques, e.g. with paraffin crayons, with stamps

car template

We train fingers we circle we draw we write

This is the name of the book by Alesya Zhukova, which has been mastered and recommended by many parents of preschool and early school children.
Thanks to a moderate number of tasks, your child learns to draw geometric shapes, write letters and numbers, count, evaluate himself by the number of mistakes.
Your help is still relevant. Tasks are different and can cause difficulties when you first get acquainted with them.

The child will learn:

fine drawing technique
correct and comfortable holding of a pen, pencil, brush
alphabet and counting

You can purchase the book or find it in the public domain and print it before each lesson.

Remember, you should not overload the child, if you notice fatigue on his sheet, switch your attention to other activities, go for a walk or let his hands and eyes rest
So, we examined the importance and relevance of regular finger painting for kids.
However, dear parents, focus more on the joy and pleasure of joint creativity with the child, rather than on the results and achievements.

May your mutual understanding and healthy affection grow stronger every day!
