Children from a young age enjoy art. Despite the modesty of their first drawings, art is very important to a child. The influence that artistic activities have is manifested in the development of visual, motor and thinking abilities. Each child's development varies and this is important to keep in mind. Children have different personalities, interests and needs that we need to consider when analyzing their work. Knowledge of the visual types and the course of developmental stages in children enables the educator to monitor their progress. All children have a certain creative potential and it is the responsibility of the educator to help the child achieve it. In order to achieve this, he needs knowledge, creativity, adaptability and patience. He needs to give children the freedom and security they need while also giving them the opportunity to learn from them. Children need to promote positive values such as environmental awareness, being economical, individuality, good manners among peers, and the value of their efforts. The educator needs to be aware of and avoid stifling children's creativity, which unfortunately often happen in reality. Good preparation, adapting activities to a specific group and their interests, offering new materials or ways of using the materials is the correct way in order to stimulate children's imagination, independence and avoid the negative situations specific to preschool children (ie. copying someone else's work, working with templates).
