Before kindergarteners can write stories, they need to learn how to tell stories through pictures! ✏️
Drawing is one of the most important foundational skills in early writing. Before students can confidently add letters, labels, and sentences to their work, they need to learn how to draw the people, places, animals, and objects they want to write about.
That's exactly why I created this resource!
This How to Draw Collection is designed to help young learners build the confidence, fine motor skills, and pencil control they need to become independent writers.
Through simple, step-by-step directed drawings, students learn how to use basic shapes and lines to create recognizable pictures. With repeated practice, they begin to develop the skills needed to illustrate their own stories!
A growing collection of easy-to-follow, step-by-step drawing pages featuring:
People: Boys, girls, facial expressions, hairstyles, and more!
Places: Houses, schools, playgrounds, bedrooms, kitchens, and more!
Animals: Dogs, cats, farm animals, zoo animals, and more!
Nature: Trees, leaves, flowers, seasonal scenes, and more!
Everyday Objects: School supplies, vehicles, furniture, and more!
Each drawing is broken down into simple, manageable steps that are developmentally appropriate for young learners.
These drawing pages are perfect for:
Writing Block: Teach students how to draw the people, places, and things they want to write about.
Writing Centers: Provide independent drawing practice that builds confidence and pencil control.
Small Groups: Model drawing techniques and provide extra support for developing writers.
Early Finishers: Give students meaningful opportunities to practice drawing independently.
Storytelling: Encourage students to draw a picture, add labels, and eventually write sentences to tell their stories.
✓ Simple, kid-friendly step-by-step visuals
✓ Builds fine motor skills and pencil control
✓ Encourages independence during writing
✓ Helps students develop confidence as illustrators and storytellers
✓ Supports the transition from drawing to labeling to sentence writing
✓ Easy to print, display, or use in writing centers
Is there a How to Draw page missing that you'd love to have?
Let me know! I'm always adding new drawings to this collection based on what my students—and yours—need throughout the year.
My goal is to make this a resource you can return to again and again as your students grow as writers.
Because before they can write their stories, they need to learn how to draw them!
