Abstract	This comparative exploratory study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an arts-based educational approach on spatial measures (visual, tactile) and graphomotor performance in pre-school children. We used a quasi-experimental control group pre-/ post-test-design to investigate 27 children receiving arts-based education for 1.5 hours weekly over a period of 10 months. Controls were 37 children without arts-based education. All children significantly improved their performance in the outcome test measures, on average, but no significant group differences were found. Therefore, the improvements found should be considered as an overall developmental impact instead of a training effect.
