Quick Answer

Draw a Person Homework gives families a simple drawing activity to repeat during three short practices. An adult draws one part on their own paper, then pauses while the child adds that part to their drawing. A labeled pencil example and clear directions help families get started with paper and a pencil, crayon, or marker.

What’s Inside

This 4-page PDF includes:

• A teacher cover page with directions, the Preschool Vibes Standards, and a tip for checking what a child can draw independently.

• A keep-at-home family page with a labeled pencil drawing, three drawing steps, a “Did You Know?” paragraph, and three practice checkboxes.

• A version with a tear-off return slip with the same activity and space for the child’s name, date, and family signature.

• An optional full-page drawing sheet with a large open space for the child’s picture.

How to Use

Choose the family page that fits your classroom. Send it home for individual drawing practice or use it with the whole class. Families can use the included drawing sheet or their own blank paper.

The adult and child each need their own paper. Draw a head, add the face, and finish the body, pausing after each part so the child can try it. Use fresh paper for each of the three practices and check one box after each drawing time.

Start with a few parts and add details as the child is ready. The developmental note explains that the child’s drawing does not need to look just like the example.

The keep-at-home page does not need to be returned. With the return-slip version, families return only the signed bottom slip after all three practices and keep the activity page and drawings.

Preschool Vibes Standards

4H. We can use drawing and writing to share ideas, moving from scribbles and pictures to letter-like forms, letters, and name writing (as appropriate).

8D. We can use tools with increasing control (tweezers, scissors, markers, droppers, etc.).
