Doodles & Observation

What is a doodle?
A doodle is a form of scribbling.

Who doodles?
Everyone. Starting from the age of 2 yrs old. (whenever the child starts to hold a tool to draw)

Why doodle?
We doodle what is in our thought, what we see, feel or experiencing.

This is a good exercise for your kids. You can try this at home. First, find a subject matter for doodling. Example here is a snack plate. Let your kid(s) observe the form, colour & space. Then, provide a piece of paper & let's start doodling. You will be amazed at the result. Analyse how your kid(s) art piece. Everytime your kid(s) doodle, don't forget to mark the date at the back & compare the results.
