Description
This is an important step for kids who are 2 years old.
Scribbling is an important skill for little ones before they learn how to write. It's like a fun game that helps their hands get strong and teaches their eyes and hands to work together.
When kids scribble, they learn how to hold a pencil and make it move the way they want. It's like a warm-up before they start learning how to write letters and words.
So, when kids scribble, they're not just making a mess, they're getting ready to be awesome writers!
