Before you start
The drawings suit children from about 4 to 9: the easy ones work for preschoolers, the medium ones for school kids. Draw with a pencil first, lightly, so a wobbly line is easy to rub out. In each step the grey lines are already there and the black ones are new – add just those. When the drawing is done, go over it with a felt-tip pen and color it in with crayons.
