Tips for drawing with kids

  1. Pencil firstDraw lightly with a pencil, then go over the lines you like with a marker or a dark crayon and erase the rest.
  2. Say it as you drawRead each step out loud, draw it, then look at the picture again before the next one.
  3. Fill the spaceYoung children draw small. Show where the first shape goes so the fox fills the box.
  4. Wobbly is fineEvery fox looks different, and a wobbly fox is still a fox. Praise the try, then color it in.

About this fox drawing

A fox has a pointed snout, big ears and a tail almost as big as its body. Draw the tail last and make it big: it curls up behind the fox and ends in a zigzag white tip.
