When children are
just beginning to write, we often ask then to draw their ideas too. Do you have children who don't know how to
draw what they want to draw, who lack confidence, draw the same thing every
day, or just don't like to draw? Often
the children who have difficulties with writing are the same ones who have a
hard time drawing. We can prevent
patterns of avoidance by giving children the opportunities they need to
understand how to draw!
I’m working on a
project that I am really enjoying. I
love teaching children how to draw the things that are important to them, and
over the years have found that using lines and curves to teach drawing is
almost like magic. Lines and curves help
children understand how they can use shapes to draw. I've been using lines and curves with
children to help them learn about letters, numbers and how to draw pictures for
a few years but now I am putting together a 'finished' drawing product to offer to parents and teachers, and am excited
with the results.
This video demonstrates how children can learn to draw with multisensory experiences.
What a wonderful way to learn to print and draw! Thank you for making these. I will buy as soon as my vacation is over.
