The aim of this study is to acquire deeper knowledge about active educationalists’ views and perceptions of communication in preschool and how these are expressed during drawing activities. In order to answer this I have conducted qualitative interviews with three active educationalists at preschool level. The study shows that communication plays a large and important role during drawing activities at the preschool studied.

This is where the interaction between the children and educationalists come into play and where the children’s interests and influence is largely significant. This in turn contributes to how the educationalists can encourage good communication skills by listening and where the children’s thoughts, ideas and their previous experiences are observed during the drawing activities. In order to achieve better communication the relevance of the material is largely dependent on how accessible and visible it is to the children, as well as how varied the supplies are in order to contribute to an increase in communication for the children.
