Learn how to draw an umbrella with this easy step by step tutorial. A few pre-printed dots will help young ones get started.
Learning how to draw an umbrella is certainly a fun thing to do on a rainy day, or any day for that matter. The large sections are just begging to have some colorful patterns added to them.
This tutorial is a bit of a cross between a connect the dots, and a DIY project. My experience is that elementary students need a bit of help in setting up an evenly spaced octagon, but providing the entire shape doesn’t help them think things out.
The solution? A template that you can print that has just the eight dots so their umbrella gets off to a good start, and the rest will be up to them. If you want the simple version for younger students, I recommend the crayon drawing. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some fancier supplies, the black paper and marker project is explained in the PDF shared HERE.
