The students are engaged and finding ways to create art in new ways. Drawing tools might not seem like a big deal at first glance, but honestly? They're kind of magic when it comes to helping kids develop in ways that go way beyond just making art.\r\n\r\nWhen students pick up drawing tools they're actually building important fine motor skills such as holding a pencil correctly, controlling pressure to make different line weights, making precise movements to stay within lines or create specific shapes. All of that requires hand-eye coordination and those tiny muscles in their fingers and hands to work together. \r\n\r\nThen there's the confidence boost. Kids are more likely to take creative risks. This tool gives them a little deposit in their self-esteem bank. Confidence transfers to other areas of their lives.
