Creative Set - Scratch painting & Water

Scratch painting (the well-known scratch) it is a very interesting and exciting process for a child! In order to draw with etching, he must be careful and precise in his movements. With each etching he removes the black layer of paint and many emerge from underneath, beautiful colors.

Children enjoy painting without thinking about what it offers them. Through painting they are led towards a healthier and happier adolescence and later adulthood. More specifically:

Improving children's mobility

The act of painting can help the mobility of young children. The movements, the feelings and precise grip required helps the finger muscles, hands and wrists. Developing motor skills helps children become dexterous and able to handle small objects with stability. Somehow they can become excellent typists, experienced athletes or engage in similar activities.

Preparation for school

The education of children in the classroom is based on structure. Almost all courses are examined or taught in writing with tests, tasks etc. Scratch painting, with drawings can become an integral part in properly preparing children for the structured work required at school.

Stimulation of creation

Either they stay in the lines or they don't, painting fosters a creative spirit and an appreciation for visual differences. Through this process, children's imagination and inspiration is fed back as it pushes them to think and "give birth" to new ideas.

Recognition and discrimination of colors

The names and shades of each color are difficult to remember, even parents struggle. Each different marker (indicative reference) promotes the practice of identifying common and less common colors.

Concentration and hand-eye coordination

When children hold the painting tools, choose the colors, they carefully paint where they want with the color they choose, even as they sharpen the color tips they are also practicing the skill of coordination and concentration.

Limits, structure and spatial awareness

By painting in blocks with frames a child learns to respect the boundaries in order to achieve the result he wants. also, even if it is not apparent at first glance, they learn the shapes, the perspective, the designs and forms of the illustrations.

Expression of feelings

Painting acts as a "vehicle" of expression as it enables children to go outside "boundaries" to give their own shapes to thoughts, to choose colors and so on.
