Following steps in order, building a picture from simple shapes and confident pencil control.

What’s included

  • 5 drawing steps
  • Open-ended: no right or wrong answers

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Invite older children to add their own background, patterns or shading to make the picture theirs.
  2. Chat about the picture while your child works – naming objects, colours and feelings builds vocabulary.
