A 3-year-old child copies a circle and imitates a cross and vertical and horizontal lines.He or she holds the writing instrument with the fingers rather than the fist.A 3-year-old is not able to draw a complete stick figure but draws a circle,later adds facial features,and by age 5 or 6 years can draw several parts (head,arms,legs,body,and facial features).Copying a triangle and diamond are mastered sometime between ages 5 and 6 years.
