According to research on children's drawing development, typically by age 5-6 children are able to create conventional figures with the head and body differentiated. They may also add other features such as arms, legs, and clothing. While they may not yet add details like eyes, nose, mouth, and hair, they are likely using lines to represent the boundaries of objects. Gestures on paper to represent thoughts are more common in younger children, around age 2-3.
