About the Develop By Drawing Support Program
Launched in joint effort with our reseller, Develop By Drawing Support Program aims to develop the graphomotor skills of preschool children. Regarding the fact that in today’s fast-paced digital world, preschoolers spend most of their time on computers, tablets, and televisions due to their parents being “busy”. In many cases, children between the ages of 3-6 are drawing less and less in the home environment, so developing their manipulation skills are left with kindergartens. Unfortunately, state-run kindergartens have fewer and fewer funds at their disposal to buy high-quality writing and drawing tools.
The Fortuna Office Supplies – Develop By Drawing Support Program was created so that Vectra-Line –joining forces with their resellers, thinking together and creating a common set of values – can support the development of graphomotor skills (drawing and writing skills) of preschool children with high-quality stationary and drawing tools. One of the special areas of fine movements is graphomotorics, i.e. the coordination of writing movements, the development of which enables the learning of writing at school age. One cannot imagine how big an effect the development of fine motor movement has on school maturity; the development of learning disorders (dysgraphia, dyslexia), various developmental disorders e.g. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be traced back to this. The intensive developmental phase of fine movement and coordinated movement starts in the second and third year of kindergarten. The children's hands become more and more skillful as they age, when the muscles of the hand, the strengthening of the bones of the hand, the development of the brain structures responsible for the coordination of fine movement, and their nervous system reach a certain level of development.
How does the program work?
Unfortunately, nowadays, the financial situation of kindergartens does not allow them to provide high-quality stationary for preschool children to use, moreover, a significant part of public institutions lack resources, so they cannot provide the right amount of stationary for children between 3-6 years of age. The Develop By Drawing Support Program was launched to provide preschool children with good quality stationary as part of kindergarten classes, and to develop children’s fine motor skills with our support. This way it can make a positive impact on their school maturity in the future.
Parents, office supply purchasers buy certain brands of school and office supplies from local stationary and office supply stores involved in the Develop By Drawing Support Program, and this way – with their purchases – they can support the specific kindergarten chosen by the local retailer.
