In addition to painting, children's art activities also include manual activities. Handicraft activities mainly include masons and paper workers. Like painting, these activities also contribute to the development of children's hands and brains. Children are naturally fond of plasticine. They will pinch out works that adults may not agree with with with their immature little hands, but they will "create" one after another in a self-righteous way. Parents should never scoff at their own works, but should affirm them in time, give appropriate guidance and let their little hands get exercise in this "creation". One day, their works will make you sit up and take notice. Children's paper workers, including origami, paper-cutting and pasting, are also deeply loved by children. However, parents who are worried about their baby's accident don't even let their children touch scissors, and parents who love cleaning don't let their children play with paper. As a result, the children of these parents can only watch other children finish a work with envy, but there is nothing they can do. In this regard, parents should cooperate with art education in kindergartens, boldly let their children practice more and catch up with children of the same age as soon as possible.

Second, persistence is very important.

In a short time, the child's progress may not be obvious, which is not important. What is important is whether we can adhere to family art education and let children form the habit of consciously "doing homework", which is very important for entering primary school in the future. It doesn't matter if the child doesn't draw well this time. We can't rush for success, but we can be sure of the merits of children's works. If children are interested in repainting, they can give appropriate guidance to improve their painting level; If the child is not interested in repainting, he can change the content of the painting, or wait for the next painting. He can't force children to draw, so as not to make them feel scared and upset, which is counterproductive. In addition, once the child's posture such as holding a pen, drawing and writing is found to be incorrect, it is necessary to correct it in time to prevent the child from developing bad habits, and it will be very troublesome to correct it then.

Third, evaluate the works with children's eyes

Children's works may be unpalatable or even ridiculous to parents, but they truly reflect their unique understanding of things. For example: draw grass bigger than a tree; Colour the sun yellow; Draw a bird's mouth as a crocodile's mouth; The same fruit tree is covered with all kinds of fruits, and even painted strawberries, watermelons and cucumbers, which has become a veritable "hundred fruit trees". When we evaluate children's works, we can't use conventional standards to evaluate them, let alone draw them as they are. To evaluate children's art works, as long as the layout is basically reasonable, the colors are bright, the collocation is basically coordinated and full of childlike interest.

In the process of family art education for children, we should not only cultivate children's practical ability, but also appreciate other people's and their own works, so that children can experience and enjoy beauty, thus cultivating their aesthetic feelings and abilities.
