Once you can draw a person from shapes, make each person different! Change the hair: short, long, curly or in a ponytail. Add a hat or glasses. Choose clothes: pants, shorts or a skirt, in any color.
Key idea
Hair, hats, glasses, clothes and size show who is who.
Why it works
In a picture of a family or a class, everyone needs to look like themselves. Small changes make each person easy to find.
Worked example: Let's look
Which person in the picture wears a sun hat?
- Look at the tops of the heads.
- Person D has a wide straw hat.
Answer: D.
Common mistake
Some children draw everyone exactly the same. Change at least one thing for each person: the hair, the clothes, the size or the glasses.
For the grown-up. Ask your child to draw your family and tell you how they will show who is who: a beard, a favorite hat, a striped shirt, long braids.
