Super Easy Drawing Project for Kids Tutorial
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for an easy drawing project for kids. It’s perfect for those just learning how to draw.
Looking for a good project for those learning how to draw? This one is perfect, especially if you can offer some kind of tool to for tracing nice round circles. My favorite classroom trick was to use a roll of masking tape. They are easy to hold, have a weight to them, and the tacky sides keep them from slipping.
You can add a little color lesson to this drawing by asking students to fill the two outside birds in a primary color, and then the middle with the resulting secondary one. Making up those colors on the spot with paint, would probably be the most fun, but filling in with crayons is fine too. Any manual coloring of the birds will help students learn and remember more about them.

Hi Mike, that sounds like a really sweet approach. What lucky students to have a teacher that can strum out some tunes to keep them engaged!
Just wanted to let you know of a neat adaptation I made for this project with my K’s and 1’s yesterday.
Instead of having them trace a circle, I had them use bingo dabbers to make a circle. We made the marks to the slowed down tempo of the “ABC Song” that I played on the ukulele to help them place the dots in a nice manner.
Sharpie for details after the ink dried.
Worked great!
Cheers,
