Mark-making

1st February 2024

One of the many ways young children learn to write is through the practice of mark-making. In Creche, children engage with various mark-making tools to craft their beautiful drawings. While these creations may not hold significant meaning for adults, they can carry profound significance for the children involved.

Mark-making plays a crucial role in the development of children's language and communication skills. By discussing their drawings and interpreting what they represent, children not only enhance their expressive abilities but also foster meaningful interactions. Encouraging conversations among children about their artwork provides a platform for sharing viewpoints and opinions.

Mark-making can serve as a means for children to express their emotions. It becomes a channel for them to communicate their feelings and thoughts through the strokes and patterns they create. This process nurtures their imagination, creativity, and allows them to test their hypotheses about the world around them.
