Hi, everyone, it’s been a while since I posted a drawing. No excuses just haven’t done it. I have been given more motivation recently as some kindergarten teachers expressed interest in incorporating drawings into their classroom. So I decided to make it a little challenging for myself and see how I can include academics into my activities. The first drawing is The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Remember you can go at the pace of the class so you can pause or rewind when needed. Here are some suggested directions.
Directions
- Draw the Letter D in the middle of the page. If you want you can already have the letter D on the page for students so that it would be easier for them to learn spatial awareness. I started in the middle so that the students have room to draw the fruit.
- Draw two circles in the D
- Draw circles inside those circles
- Draw a circle for the mouth or nose or whatever that is
- Draw the antennas
- Draw the letter C next to the letter D
- Continue making C’s (I think I ended up making 19)
- Draw an “L” for the legs
- Draw some fine hair
Suggested activities
- Write a sentence or two about what the caterpillar ate. Their opinion or favorite part.
- Draw that fruit (practice drawing shapes)
- Color picture
- Have them draw a certain amount of each fruit and count them or add them together.
