I made this book the way I teach in my art classes: every drawing starts with an easy circle or oval. The Cute Animal Activity Book for Kids is an animal activity book for kids ages 3 and up, with 14 step-by-step How to Draw lessons. Each lesson adds one small step at a time until a cute animal appears, and then there’s a big practice box right on the page.

Kids meet a smiley cat, a floppy-eared puppy, a wise old owl, a cheeky frog, a gentle elephant and more. They learn to draw them, find them, follow them through mazes and bring them to life with color. There are 65+ activities on 82 big pages, so there’s no time to get bored.
