Question about one of the examples at 'Quick Lesson'
This question relates to:French lesson "Que + [inverted statement] ? = What ... ? (French Questions)"
Asked 2 months ago
Bonjour Sydney,
Que dessinent les enfants ? = What are the children drawing?
Que dessinent-ils, les enfants ? = What are they drawing, the children?
As you can see the second example is slightly different from the first.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Yes, you could either say:
Les enfants, que dessinent-ils? or Que dessinent-ils, les enfants?. Note, however, the comma separating the pronoun from the explicit subject.
