Doodling comes naturally to kids as they are fast and spontaneous in their expressions. We as parents should encourage our kids to doodle more often. It has lots of benefits.

Doodling simply is drawing or making random and spontaneous marks on paper. There is no set pattern or shape or even medium for doodling. One can just make anything, whether it makes any form or not is irrelevant. Kids generally make doodles on paper with a pencil, pen, or crayon. It is believed doodles signify the random thoughts of a person and are the medium to express themselves. This art form doesn’t require much drawing skills, and one can express oneself with any form, line, or shape. Though when a child puts his mind and effort into it, he can create amazing doodling artwork that can be interpreted like any other artwork.

Doodling is an important medium for kids to explore their creativity, grasp new concepts, stay focused, relax, and achieve better mental health. Many scientific researchers have found that kids who doodle are more relaxed and have a better memory.
