How to use these printables
- Download the free PDF and print at home — standard A4 or US Letter paper both work.
- Print as many as you like — for siblings, a playdate or a whole classroom.
- Grab crayons, pencils or markers and let your child take it from there. There’s no right way to finish a page.
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.
