Draw Animal Characters
Draw Animal Characters
Choose a few fiction books with animals as the main characters and read them together. Talk with the child about the characters in these stories. How are they like people? How are they different? The stories aren't the same as real life. How would the animal behave in real life? Get drawing materials and a piece of drawing paper folded in half. On the left, the child should draw one of the characters from the stories you read, as detailed as possible. On the right, the child should draw a picture of themselves. Now talk about the two drawings. How are they alike? How are they different?
