What age would you think did this drawing?

[NowWhatUsernameShallIHave]

Just that really

I thought around 10

The writing is neat and all the same size and the colouring in is ordered and done in sections which I think indicated an older child.

My 9 year old could not do something this neatly.

My child has only become neat at colouring in and they are around that age and being assessed for autism. I don't know if that picture insinuates autism though as I couldn't draw something as well as that without having something to copy the things from.

Around 4 (I have a 4 and 5 year old) the 4 year old would draw similar to this, the 5 year old is streets ahead though, I think she's much better at art than the average 5 year old though.

I can see the age is on here now. I would have guessed anywhere from age 6 (the Christmas tree symmetry would be uncommon for a younger child) to age 12.

Just read your update. My husband always says he can't draw stick people. I dragged him to a couple of paint nights, and his trees ect did look like a child painted it. I love them anyways, because he did them. His talents lay in other directions.

I thought a 10 yr old . The present is very well drawn especially the bow.
I thought the drawing beside the present was a singer sewing machine! (I’m a tailor) until somebody said it was a games console!

I would love to see some examples of 4 year old's artwork and writing that is similar to this. That would be very unusual for a 4 year old.

In the kindest possible way, I really wouldn’t post things like this. My Asd 11 year old writes like a 3 year old, assessments, therapy, dla, diagnosis all concentrate on negative things that effect the child, look for the positives because things like this will pile on and get you down

Not sure why you ae posting OP- in the kindest possible way, what answers are you looking for?

I don’t think he’s a genuis in fact I’m concerned that it’s rather immature but as I don’t have anything to compare it against hence why I am asking

I find it really hard to tell - if the child wrote the text, they're obviously not very young, as spelling 'xmas' is quite complicated. And the careful way the bows are drawn, and the neatness of filling in the shapes, suggests a child at the upper end of primary school. OTOH the shapes are quite simple? Did the child do all of this work, or was it finished off by a teacher/ started by a teacher, perhaps?

I'd say top primary - the colouring is neat and but the top of the tree is reversed. I remember being in year 6 and getting incredibly frustrated for ages because I was supposed to be drawing patterns that followed round clockwise or anticlockwise (as if repeatedly tracing round a bit of shaped card fixed with a drawing pin in one end, but without the card) and just couldn't do it without occasionally reversing one shape, even though I would have no trouble with that now.

I immediately thought a child with special needs because of the lack of detail on the person and the detail in the present/ console etc.

My kids take after me in the artistic dept, so I'd say 12!

Its better than I could manage and I'm over 40!

It's not that deep.

It is significantly (and I mean significantly!) better than my 14 y old would produce. His art teachers waved him off with a huge sigh of relief at the end of compulsory art in S2. He is dyslexic, not sure if that affects his artistic ability though!

Some replies are rather assuming that I’m saying my DS is a genius- I’m not

Some people are genuinely asking and for me it’s a difficult subject to raise - some on here are just out to basically bully

Thank you to the majority who just answered the question

My DS is almost 11 and couldn't draw as nearly as that, but he can wipe the floor with me at Maths. I'm not sure assessing his drawings is the best way to figure out where he is or if he's on the spectrum.

I would say 9 to 10

IME I’d say a six year old

Although my 8 and 6 year olds could draw that, my 39 year old husband couldn’t.

Oh come on OP you left this as an open post. Don't blame posters for responding in a certain way.

There is a "typical drawing/writing standard for all children. Many without SEN do not meet that standard and as this is a huge site you have had answers from 5 to 11 years old. So that tells you nothing.

Artistic ability varies so much. I do know a child (not mine!) who could have done that certainly by age 4yo, but she was very artistic.
In all honesty I wouldn't have felt I'd acquitted myself too badly doing it myself. I'm not artistic.

It's appropriate (ds' Christmas card in year 2 he draw a dinosaur with Lancaster Bombers overhead. When told by the teacher it needed to be Christmassy he added a Christmas tree and the dinosaur saying "yum"), well coloured in, and I can see what everything is meant to be!
