This section is all about drawing for children. Here you will find information and instructions that are most suitable for children, parents and educators.

Contributions for young and old

Most people see drawing and painting as a “children’s hobby”, but many adults also enjoy this beautiful hobby.

Nevertheless, the foundations are laid in childhood. Drawing and painting helps to train hand-eye coordination, concentration and, last but not least, learning to write.

A feeling for colors and shapes is also important for brain development.

So drawing and painting is by no means just a hobby for children, but actually an important foundation for development.

Suitable for children aged 6-12
