Big Drawing Book (Usborne)

It's a fabulous concept and so easy to use for 4yr to 4.5yr olds who have good pencil control. Art and drawing is extremely important for kids to learn and the usborne big drawing book is great for this age group. This book is perfect to start with and then once they're good at this we can introduce the step by step drawing book from usborne.

Excellent book for toddlers. My 4.5 year old loves drawing pictures with this book. There is space within the book to draw, but we draw in a separate book to keep this one neat. The most wonderful thing is that kids can actually go through the book and learn by themselves. The pictures increase in complexity as we go, but the drawings are clear enough for the kids to follow. This was a pleasant surprise because this meant I could have some time for myself while the kid was engaged creatively. Win win!! I have added a few pictures that my kid drew with this book's help.

This is such an awesome way to teach kids drawing simple figures. It is interesting and detailed. It gives step by step directions to draw figures like bugs, flowers, cars etc. for for it if you have a 7 years or under kid

Best

This book breaks drawing down into simple steps and shapes that even an artistically challenged adults can use. Each page can be drawn on just once, so we drew on separate pieces of paper, and used the book as a reference.

I had bought this one 2yrs back to teach my kid basic drawings. It is so beautiful and easy to do these that my son still refers it for some drawings.

My 4 year old boy is not interested in drawing or any colouring activity. But this wonderful book got him excited and wanted to try drawing all the different creatures. It’s a very nice book to get your little one interested in drawing. Amazing content and quality

Very good content

Bought this book for my 5 year old grandson. He was so excited when he got the book. We spent an hour flipping through the pages and doodling. Recommended for kids who loves to draw !

We love all activity books from Usborne. This one is no different. Lots of diverse activities on high quality paper. Hours of fun for these holidays. I purchased these for friends as well and they were very well received.

Great drawing book for beginners. In fact, I think its the only drawing book I have seen so far that could be used in preschool, though I am sure it was intended older kids. The first few pages start off with very simple drawings with only 3 steps. Throughout the rest of the book however the number of steps and the difficulty of each step varies considerably. I think its one of those books that you may need to jump around in order to complete the pages at the correct level of difficulty. Also the style of the book is more doodly than either cartoony or realistic which again makes it more appropriate for preschool kids than other books because there is no erasing lines or shading etc. Lastly, I like that the book has a "gender inclusive" feel. I was always more of a tom boy so a book that includes flowers, butterflies, dump trucks, and pirates is great! I did find the fairy, princess, and mermaid pages a bit too on the girly side and the pirate and knight pages too much on the boyish side. This could have been easily fixed by having the princesses and knights on the same page... by including male fairies, mermen, and female pirates. Here are the things you draw in the book: snails ladybugs fish bees butterflies flowers birds rockets turtles monkeys monsters dolphins hamsters dragonflies cats mushroom hedgehogs hot air balloons bears elephants frogs tractors pigs koalas pandas robots ducks faces aliens bunnies dinos owls fairies ships horses cars lions windmills penguins princesses dragons houses airplanes helicopters crocodiles bulldozers mermaids castles pirates lizards reindeer knights dogs

Great activity book. Gives confidence to young artists!

This is a fantastic book, my 5 1/2 year old loves it and it’s given him confidence to draw simple things.
