We own the animal learn to draw book, which teaches my daughter how to draw horses, lions, bears, penguins, monkeys, dogs and more. She is not quite 4 yet, so the book is a bit advance for her, but she has had fun tracing the animals.
Tracing reinforces fine motor skills and prepares her for writing and drawing. There is plenty of room in the book for drawing, though I have been using loose leaf paper for her to practice on. This is a great activity for fine motor control, and a great exercise in preparing her for drawing and printing on her own. Even I have been making use of the book. It is to be said that this mom is no Picasso. Mom or dad can also draw part of the picture and encourage children to complete the other half.
LEARN TO DRAW…CHRISTMAS
Drawing a snowman doesn’t seem that hard with step-by-step circles that turn into a Snowman. In Learn to Draw Christmas,
Kids learn to draw Reindeer’s, Elves, Snowman and more.
Preschoolers can start drawing a snowman by tracing different size cups.
Peter Pauper Press “Learn to Draw” Christmas would make a great Christmas gift or a perhaps a countdown gift to get kids into the holiday spirit. It’s not even Dec 1st and we are already drawing snowmen.
With creativity and confidence it won’t be long until my budding young artist will be drawing on her own thanks to Peter Pauper Press series of Learn to Draw books.
LEARN TO WRITE
In kindergarten, children learn to trace and form letters and numbers, so the preschool years is a wonderful time to strengthen small muscles, develop fine motor control, and improve eye/hand coordination.
Pre-Writing Skills Tasks
There are a number of pre-writing tasks that you can use to encourage and support a child in their pre-writing skills. These include:
- Tracing shapes and patterns
- Dot to Dots
- Pattern writing
- Copying lines
- Drawing
Writing is a skill that most people use every single day. Even as we move to a society driven by keyboards, kids still need to learn to write by hand. Peter Pauper Press Learn to Books are a great way for your child to practice core concepts and skills. Their learn to book contain kindergarten activities, which can help younger children learn how to print and draw or help refine skills already mastered.
