A new schema for defining developmental stages in the drawing of geometrical objects is proposed. In four studies, ( N = 917, 1851, 673, and 437, respectively) children and adults drew cubes and cylinders. The data demonstrate that the proposed stages appear in an invariant order: 2‐year‐old children almost always draw Scribbles; Single Units appear at the age of 3 years, Differentiated Figures at the age of 4 years, and Integrated Wholes after the age of 7 years.
