Spatial Quick Tips

by FamilyEducation Staff

You can help your child further develop her spatial talents by:

Stocking your home with art supplies so that she can create her own paintings, drawings, sculptures, and models.
Allowing her to decide how she would like to arrange her bedroom furniture (ask older children to sketch the new arrangement first).
Asking your child to use a map to determine the quickest route to a new shopping center or amusement park.
Encouraging her to pursue hobbies such as photography, videography, and chess.
