In fact, both activities are useful for your child and even have common benefits. Drawing and colouring activity pad exercise:
Fine motor skills: When your toddler draws or colours, they practice holding and directing a pencil and controlling their movement. Little by little, his line gains in precision. This gradually prepares him for learning to write.
Attention span: your child must be attentive to what he or she is doing, for example to draw rays of sunlight or to stay within the lines of a coloring picture.
Reasoning: your child must use different strategies to apply color: make horizontal or vertical lines; adjust their movements on the pencil according to the space to be filled; pressing harder on the pencil to get a darker color, etc.
The ideal would be to offer your child both activities, because the important thing is to offer him a variety of activities to promote his development.
