Teachers LOVE Drawing Mats!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy A. says, "My kindergarten kiddos always LOVE directed drawing activities, so these activities are a wonderful addition to my classroom! I believe directed drawing activities offer opportunities that build confidence in my students of their abilities and skills! After several directed drawing experiences, I see reluctant artists transform into eager artists! This excitement and confidence transfers into their independent drawing, as well. I also LOVE that this resource incorporates writing with the drawings! My students are always motivated to write about their illustrations! I am very pleased with this purchase. :)"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tonisha J. says, "One of my favorite resources to use in the classroom. My students think this is a reward because it's so much fun. Thank you."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Julianne E. says, "My kids LOVED this! They would get so excited when it was directed drawing time. They enjoyed learning how to draw different things that matched whatever theme we had at the time! Great resource!!"
