DS just gave me this picture. I know there is quite a lot of variation but how old do you think is the child who drew this?

2 or 3 or possibly 4. But definitely pre school age

You’ve posted this as a boast so people are automatically going to assume the child is really young (you wouldn’t be posting if your child was 7).

There are drawings I’ve seen from 4 year olds that are similar / better. Neither of mine would have been able to draw that at 4. There are children in my DD’s reception class who draw better though.

I'm not sure it's a boast. I have drawings like that that I did from age 3 and I'm not especially talented at art. I am surprised at all the people guessing any age over four or five.

This where we get told he's 35

My five year old draws in a similar style (face, pointy toes in a star shape) so I'll say that. She wasn't putting as many extra details in as this pic at four, maybe a sun or a cloudy at a push.

4/5

4-8 one of mine could do similar at 4 the other 8/9.

Stealthmodemama · 29/05/2024 21:46

My DD - who is arty would have drawn that at 2/3

My DS - could possibly have drawn that at 5.. but now at 15 I'm not sure he could be bothered with the level of detail to be honest.

I once worked with a child who was 5 - who drew a 3d train travelling down tracks towards the viewer - it was stunning, (far far better than the above picture). Both his parents were artists .
