To make children develop in an all-round way, the important role of aesthetic education can not be ignored. This is determined by the physical and mental characteristics of children and the nature of aesthetic education. Children can show their perception of beauty very early. Psychological research has proved that under the influence of external conditions, some four-month-old babies already like to listen to the piano, and one-year-old babies like to look at brightly colored clothes. Children over two years old already have colors they like and dislike; Five-year-old children can enjoy the sunset and sunset glow. Therefore, the cultivation of children's aesthetic ability is the starting point and foundation of aesthetic education.

(1) Aesthetic education can promote the coordinated development of intellectual education and moral education, and improve students' comprehensive quality.

First of all, aesthetic education can cultivate children's good moral sense. In the process of aesthetic education, teachers can help students gradually and correctly distinguish good from evil, beauty and ugliness through words and deeds. Driven by the love of beauty, they consciously suppress ugliness and abandon ugliness, get rid of bad habits, pursue beauty, create beauty, and improve their ideological and moral level. Secondly, aesthetic education can promote children's intellectual development. The influence of aesthetic education on intellectual education is mainly manifested in that aesthetic education can stimulate students' imagination and promote their thinking development.

(2) Aesthetic education can promote children's mental health and develop a sound personality.

Aesthetic education is a kind of education that pays attention to sensibility and can promote the coordinated development of sensibility and rationality. This makes it of great practical significance. The diversity of the world also determines the different ways of human understanding the world. Aesthetic education is not only based on sensibility, but also a sublimation of sensibility. It cultivates people's feeling-perception-imagination-emotion-desire through aesthetics, and nourishes it rationally, thus forming the blending and harmony of perceptual and rational consciousness imperceptibly, thus cultivating a sound personality.
