Years later, when I took a “How to Teach Elementary Art” class as part of the early childhood education program I was in, the professor talked about how common it is for kids to stop drawing at a similar age. This is when children begin noticing the imperfections of their art, she explained, and it bothers them more than when they were younger. Without encouragement, many kids like me stop drawing. There are many reasons why art and drawing are important. They can improve fine motor skills, develop critical thinking skills, aid in spatial reasoning, and help children with pattern recognition. It’s also a fun way to express creativity. Despite abandoning drawing in 4th–5th grade, now, as an adult, I enjoy doodling as a stress reliever. These nine drawing books for kids make drawing fun, accessible, and low-pressure and will hopefully keep kids drawing. While geared toward children, I find them equally entertaining and instructive for beginner adults.
