Observational drawing will help them to:

• help strengthen memory - as the child looks at the object and remembers what they see.
• develop fine motor skills.
• develop spatial awareness.
• develop concentration and focus.
• develop observational skills - the child will look closely at the object and notice certain details, sometimes what the child notices are unexpected details.
• assist the child to interpret a three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional form.
• allows the child to develop visual communication skills - through drawing the child is communicating what they see, what they imagine, and what they want to communicate, often focusing on different forms of expression, it's not just the image it's the mediums they choose, the pressure they use, the thickness of the lines.
• help the child grasp concepts such as depth and scale.
• help the child to understand the outline, structure and form of objects.
