What It Looks Like When Kids Learn To Write, All Over The World

Here on HuffPost Parents, our Cute Kid Notes series features hilarious, adorable, and generally brilliant handwritten notes from children.

One Reddit user had a similar idea, but on a global level, and found notes that kids have written from all over the world. Argenblargen posted the question, "If your language is written in something other than the English/Latin alphabet (e.g. Hebrew, Chinese, Russian), can you show us what a child's early-but-legible scrawl looks like in your language?"

People responded with images of children's writing in Greek, Russian, Hindi, Hebrew, and more. Check out examples from young developing writers below:


"I love cats" in Hebrew.

I wish you health, happiness and strength.
Ksusha, Fedya, Momm, Dad. "
