Children’s drawings and interviews are common methods in social research for eliciting perspectives on their lives. In studies on young children’s perspectives, the method of drawing is often used as a trigger to elicit stories and meanings of the studied phenomena, as well as for the triangulation of the findings. We explore the interplay between drawings and interviews in eliciting children’s insights and focus on how the drawings could be used as data for analysis. We selected three drawings of five-year-old children to demonstrate the three essential aspects of drawing as a research tool: (1) drawing as a trigger to elicit a story, (2) drawing as data for analysis, and (3) drawing for the sake of triangulation. An extensive description of how drawings and interviews complement each other in data analysis is also presented. We propose a working model outlining the different levels of interpretation of findings about children’s different perspectives and emphasize the importance of paying attention to not only the research context, but to the researcher’s methodological background as having a major impact on the results, as well.
