Because of the importance of strike activity, supporting children's activities, how: 

    * Prepare media for cross-coloring and let children try out different types of graffiti media, for example, various types of paper, cardboard, wall, or board. Make sure their needs are met fairly. Provide a special plot on the wall for graffiti-stricken, and buy the board that his writings can be removed so that children can be satisfied scratch.
    * Recommend on different stationery. Provide an easy-grip stationery, misaknya, marker or crayon long-handled large. Colors stationery should be bright, to hone the sense of vision.
    * Teach the method of crossing out without tools, such as finger painting. Doodling with a finger, giving a different sensation because the children directly in contact with the material and drawing media.
    * Take time to strike out with the children. Will be more fun if your child scribble accompanied his parents. Assisting you to make her feel safe and comfortable, making them more motivated to explore.
    * Not too panic if their child is scribbling out of place, for example on the walls, bed sheets, tablecloths or refrigerator door. Hm, maybe it's because toddlers can not bear to see the field clean and want to carve "his work" in there! Immediately clean coretannya and once again remind children not to scribble on random places. In the period studied doodles, you'll want to use wall paint kind of easy to clean.
    * Does not expect children to have the talent to paint, because it is too early to determine the talent of children at this age. So, do not set any target Just make sure that the more frequently children crossing out, the more flexible she was to write later.
