Quick Answer

Turn simple shapes into drawings! Children follow step-by-step directions to turn a circle into a flower, a triangle into a fox, and more while creating their own shape doodle book.

This resource combines shape recognition with drawing practice, giving children opportunities to build pencil control, follow directions, and plan where to add each part of a picture.

What’s Included

• Eight shape activities: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, oval, rhombus, star, and heart

• Drawings of a flower, fox, house, rocket, turtle, kite, starfish, and heart balloon

• Light gray tracing versions and blank versions without a starting-shape guide

• Full-page and half-page student books

• Nine full-page directed drawing guides, including a castle drawing for the cover

• Student covers, teacher directions, and a page finder

How to Use

Choose the pages you want to include, then model each drawing using the separate teacher guide. Children trace or draw the starting shape, add the details, and color their finished pictures. Use the castle guide to help children create a cover drawing that combines several shapes.

Make It Fit Your Group

Use the light gray tracing pages for children who need a starting point and the blank versions for children ready to draw the shapes independently. Both versions can be used in the same class. Complete all eight shapes or choose a smaller selection for your group.

Skills Practiced

Shape recognition and naming, fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and following step-by-step directions.
