About this guide
Most children move through the same broad stages as they learn to draw, from whole-arm scribbles to detailed, realistic pictures. This 10-page pocket guide explains each stage, so when a new drawing comes home you can see what your child is working on and know what to say to encourage them.
Each stage has its own page: what drawings usually look like at that age, the skills the stage is building, a practical parent tip and a phrase you can use. A one-page table then puts all four stages side by side, from ages 1 to 11.
What’s inside
- 1
Why drawing matters
A short welcome on why drawing matters for children and how to use the guide.
- 2
The Scribbling Stage, ages 1 to 3
From random whole-arm marks to controlled loops and zigzags, and the moment children start naming their scribbles.
- 3
The Preschematic Stage, ages 3 to 5
The first “tadpole people”, objects floating across the page and colours chosen for fun rather than realism.
- 4
The Schematic Stage, ages 6 to 8
Ground lines, x-ray views inside houses, repeated symbols for trees and people, and drawings that tell stories.
- 5
The Dawning Realism Stage, ages 9 to 11
Overlap, depth and detail, and the self-critical turn when children start comparing their drawings with real life.
- 6
The stages at a glance
A summary table with the typical age, key signs and a supportive phrase for each stage.
