Preschool Drawing Basics: Super Simple Drawings for Beginning Artists

Fine motor skills, such as writing and drawing, can be challenging for our preschool-aged kids! As a mom of preschooler, I noticed my child didn't seem to know how to begin creating drawings even though he could draw some of his basic shapes. I created this class for kids like him, who may need some guidance, modeling, and the support of peers to begin their journey as budding artists. I will provide printable scaffolds for learners who need additional support. More advanced learners will be encouraged to add more details to their amazing drawings. Join me each week to create drawings out of basic shapes!
