Easy Things to Draw - a Way Around Screen Time
Mom guilt is real. We feel guilty that we aren’t feeding our kids healthy, we feel guilty when our house isn’t clean enough, and we feel guilty when we say - “Hey kid, why don’t you have a little screen time.” Screen time has become an “ugly” word lately and we are here to change it!
If you're looking for a screen time activity that's both educational and entertaining, look no further than drawing videos! By watching drawing videos, kids can learn new skills while spending time in front of a screen. Plus, since drawing is a hands-on activity, it's a great way to get your kids “off” screens and into the creative world.
Screen time doesn’t always have to be a bad thing and we don’t have to feel guilty if we guide our kids to find some easy things to draw and they create artwork! As adults, we feel like drawing can be daunting and stressful, kids find it fun and they don’t stress over mistakes or how their drawings turn out. This makes drawing a great screen time activity for your kids!
Tupperberry has created a library of wonderful and easy things to draw that work for both the experienced young artist or a child who is just starting out. We make the videos fun and easy to follow along.
Here are some benefits to those videos.
As a parent, you are always looking for ways to limit your child's screen time. But what if there was a way for them to spend their screen time that was actually beneficial? Drawing videos are a great way for your child to learn while still having fun. Here are three reasons why drawing videos are a great screen time activity:
They help develop fine motor skills
They foster creativity
They promote problem-solving skills.
These drawings help kids with their fine motor skills, we simply use a pencil and paper and this can really help students learn to use their writing utensils with ease. When kids are learning how to hold a pencil and write, they are also improving their fine motor skills. For many parents, this is an important milestone that they want their child to reach as soon as possible. But did you know that drawing can actually help your child develop these fine motor skills?
According to a recent study, children who regularly engage in drawing activities have better fine motor skills than those who don't. So if you're looking for a way to help your child improve their pencil grip or writing abilities, consider incorporating some drawing time into their daily routine. It's a fun activity for them and it can really make a difference in their development. Give it a try and see for yourself!
If you're a mom, or a parent of any kind, you know that fostering creativity in your children is important. It helps them think outside the box, and come up with new ideas. But did you know that drawing is one of the best ways to help do that? Just by giving your child some paper and a crayon, you can help them unleash their creative potential!
Do you ever feel like you are stuck when trying to solve a problem? Well, it turns out that drawing can actually help! According to a study published in the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity, kids who drew pictures of a problem they were having were better able to come up with a solution. Researchers believe that this is because drawing helps stimulate both the visual and analytical parts of the brain. So if you're ever feeling stuck, try grabbing some paper and a pencil and start sketching out what's going on! You may be surprised at how much easier it becomes to find a solution.
With these 3 benefits, you can see where certain types of screen time can be a benefit to your kids as well as yourself - yes go grab a coffee and take a breather. Give yourself some time and have your kid get that screen time they want, but learn to draw with Tupperberry!
