DS is almost 2.5. Until today when he got crayons he would scribble. When I would ask him what he drew he would say "I'm just scribbling." Several months ago he got to play with some paint and when I asked him what he painted he said "two lines."

He is quite literal.

Anyway, tonight he announced he was going to draw Olaf from Frozen. He drew a "big ole head" with appropriately placed eyes, a carrot nose, and a big mouth. He drew the snowman body with the buttons and one arm coming out of the body. Then he moved on to drawing Kristoff. He drew the head, eyes, nose, mouth, and hair.

Then he erased it all in the magna doodle and went back to scribbling.

I googled drawing people because I thought his level of detail was above average and came across some posts about the "draw a person" test. Is that an actual thing? It's supposed to reflect mental age but I've never heard of it.

My son likes to do this to me. He unveils a complete skill rather than show me what milestone he is working on! Since all I can draw is a stick figure he has already surpassed my abilities. smile
