Save $$$ when you buy the How to Draw BUNDLE: How to Draw People, Objects, and Animals - Bundle
Do your kids constantly ask, “How do you draw a…” -- or flat-out say, “I can’t draw that!” during writing lessons? Now you can give them the tools they need for easy success. They’ll draw familiar objects and people using shapes they know.
This resource goes even further, adding charts and lessons to help kids use speech bubbles, gestures, subtle emotions, and character traits in their drawings. These are the details that make kids’ drawings sizzle!
> GREAT FOR PRINTABLES, OR FOR VIEWING ON A COMPUTER.
NEW: For Distance Learning or Classroom Computer Work:
- Pre-formatted pages--for kids to label objects or to write sentences--using TpT's Easel Tool!
- This digital tool allows kids to type and print their text, on a computer, laptop, or tablet.
- Kids may also draw a picture to go with their typed text, and share it in a real or virtual classroom.
The charts and lessons are designed to give kids maximum independence, whether they are ELLs (English Language Learners) who speak little English, or TAGs (Talented and Gifted) with highly advanced verbal skills.
These charts work wonders for early finishers. Voila! There are always more features kids can add to their drawings, and these charts will help. Kids can use the charts to help them label pictures with the beginning letters or words, or add designs to their characters’ clothing.
Ready to take your students’ writing to the next level, and have them create show-stopping illustrations? Want your bulletin boards to “pop” with eye-catching details?
Hint: it’s never too early—or too late—in the year to introduce this gift to kids. It’s the gift that keeps giving! Kids will refer to these charts all year.
What’s more, kids will add their own details as the year goes on—more objects, more fine points, and their own invented or referenced spelling.
NOT JUST FOR WRITING LESSONS! For instance, when kids make "Number Books" in Math Class, writing numbers and drawing one object, then two objects, then three objects, and so on, they can use these charts to get ideas for their artwork.
