The Stanislaus County Library in Modesto, California suggests parents grab markers and crayons to draw with their children. Drawing is a good way to have conversations with kids and develop their narrative and fine motor skills. Parents can ask open-ended questions about their drawings, such as "what is your dinosaur doing?" If a parent can't understand the drawing, they can ask the child to describe it. This activity helps children with narrative skills and fine motor skills. The library encourages parents to draw together with their children as a way to engage in conversation and foster motor skill development.
