Make a trip to the zoo extra fun!

Make a trip to the zoo extra fun!

Have your child take a sketchbook to the zoo and allow them time to draw the animals and/or plants that appeal to them! Allow them time to really study the outside edges (contours) of what they are drawing. Encourage them and ask them to tell you about their drawing and drawing process. What did they draw first, second, etc.

For a continuation of this activity at home, and with your supervision, look up some “how to draw…”
videos on You Tube. There are many child-friendly drawing videos. Your artist can follow the tutorial for any animals they did not have time to draw. Please, parents, watch the video without your child’s presence before allowing them to follow it to make sure it is 100% appropriate by the values and standards your family supports.

Have an outstanding summer! Let your kiddos create, create, create! Outdoors is a great place for painting and other messy activities!

I miss them already!
