My son exhibits strange behavior

My son is almost 5 years old (november he'll be five). He has started this thing, where he is looking off and starts drawing with his finger in the air. And if you ask him what he's drawing it's never something that is even remotely related to what we are talking about or doing. It's all the time now, like he just stops talking to you and will start drawing with his fiinger. I watch him online in class (pre-k) and he is doing the same thing while the teacher is talking. I just wonder what this is?? or how his little mind is working.

This is an old post - I found it during a search. My 5 year old son does this EXACT same thing. Hoping you are still getting notified on this post - and wanted to ask if your son is still doing it - or if you ever figured out what it was??

No he just does it on his own and does it all the time. Like, I'll be talking to him and he'll just start finger drawing in the air and then ask him what he's drawing and he'll say, a diamond...a train...a trapazoid...a nose...i mean it's all different and nothing in particular...
