After that, the drawing your child just made becomes a game they play, a lesson they read out loud, and stock in a little art shop they run. Same artwork as the sheets you are printing — it just does rather more once it is on a screen.
1. They draw
A blank canvas with brushes, stickers and colors — or one of our outlines to color in.
2. It becomes a game
Their drawing is the character. The car they just drew is the car they now steer and score with.
3. It becomes a lesson
Spell it, say it, rhyme it, then real facts, quizzes and maths — all built around what they drew.
4. They run an art studio
Frame it, hang it in their own gallery, then price it and haggle with customers. Real money sense.

Good to know
- Breaking a drawing into small steps shows kids that 'I can't draw' is really just 'I haven't learned the steps yet.'
- Each guide starts from basic shapes — the same ones in our shape tracing worksheets.
- Once they have followed the steps, challenge them to draw it again from memory.
