The other day my 4 year old presented me with a drawing of an elephant. It was adorable! It was so cute that I assumed her older sister had done it. But, the 4 year old was the actual artist. Come to find out, she was following a book we picked up at the library on drawing animals from Ed Emberley. The steps this author laid out were so clear my 4 year old understood them. She cannot yet read, but she could follow these drawing instructions.
If you are looking for a fun way to entertain or even log some art hours with a book that also is rich in teaching handwriting skills, I highly recommend any of Ed Emberley's Drawing Books. Here's some more to check out:
