On Friday, 25 September 2026, students of TK Al Siddiq International took part in a Drawing Enrichment Activity held in the dining room. The activity provided a joyful opportunity for the children to learn and express themselves through art. Using simple drawing materials, the children were encouraged to turn their ideas and imagination into creative works.
The school day began as usual at 8.00 a.m. and continued until 10.30 a.m. The children started their morning with Duha Prayer, held from 8.00 to 8.30 a.m. The Drawing Enrichment activity then continued in two sessions. The first session was for TK B students from 8.30 to 9.30 a.m., followed by the TK A session from 9.30 to 10.30 a.m.
While waiting for the activity and the transition between sessions, the children continued with their usual school routines, such as journaling and snack time. These routines gave the children an opportunity to rest, enjoy their snacks, and prepare themselves for the drawing activity.
During the TK B session, the children were invited to draw an ice cream with a cherry on top. Using crayons, they began creating the shape of the ice cream on paper and then added a cherry as part of their drawings. The children were free to explore different shapes and colours according to their creativity, making each artwork unique and full of character.
Meanwhile, during the TK A session, the children were invited to draw an orange. Just like the TK B session, the children used crayons as their drawing tool and created their artwork on paper. Through this activity, they learnt to recognise shapes while expressing their observations through simple and enjoyable drawings.
Drawing provides various benefits for early childhood development. As children hold and use crayons, they develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. They also learn to control their hand movements as they draw lines, create shapes, and add colour to their pictures. In addition, drawing activities can help children develop focus and patience as they work towards completing their creations.
Drawing is not only about developing skills; it also provides children with space to nurture their creativity and imagination. The Drawing Enrichment activity at TK Al Siddiq International is one of the activities that allows children to learn through enjoyable experiences. With just a crayon and a sheet of paper, children can create meaningful artwork while developing important skills during their early years.
Today’s little strokes can become part of a much bigger journey of learning, creating, and growing in confidence.
