From Alisa:
I was googling around some ideas to spare the kids another 30 minutes of my story spinning. I found this “How to draw a…” step-by-step website that works perfectly! The artist draws a black line figure, step by step, and a kid sitting next to him copies each step. Mute sound. Narrate, using structures like: draws a curve, draws a line, it’s a tail, its the inside of his ear. Pause. Continue.
We shared our masterpieces afterwards.
I got to sit a bit, and NOT talk as much.
It was awesome – they asked for more. The site has lots of animals /projects and opportunities for reps: Video form, time lapse on paper form, etc.
Here’s the link – there are tons more similar sites:
