Easy and fun

This book is cute to look at, easy to follow, and the colorful, fun pictures are wonderful. We have this for my son, but all of his friends (girls and boys, 6 years old) want to draw everything from every page and they can do it very well. Steps are simple to master for ages as young as 4, and the book helps build confidence because the kids can really draw what is shown. Variations are easy too. Perfect book to have laying around to encourage children to try drawing. Great gift idea!

Helped turn my non-artist into a VanGogh!

This product, and the others like it "I Can Draw Animals" and "I Can Draw People" are incredible! Just a year ago, I was able to pick my son's artwork out of his entire class: It was the unfinished or poorly executed one. Then, he started bringing some wonderful drawings home from Kindergarten. I asked him who drew them, and he said he did. I was shocked. Then, I found out his teacher has this series of books. The teacher told me that my son eagerly thumbed through the books when given a drawing assignment for ways to construct characters. My son - the one who was drawing stick figures a few short months ago! I quickly ordered the entire series and now we have a "super silly art gallery" in our home. He loves to draw now. I realized that he just didn't know how to get started before. He even lent the books to his older cousin that needed to draw a wizard for a school project. Now that he's more skilled, he is able to draw great things even without referencing the books. I am amazed and so very pleased.

Great for elementary school

I just got through my first year of teaching and this book was really fun for some of my kids who lack confidence in drawing. They were able to have great success with the ideas in this book.

A Must Have!

This book is absolutely fabulous! My daughter received it as a gift for her 4th birthday. She would sit and draw every picture. She is now 6 and still loves it! This book is so easy for any child to use. The step by step detailed pictures show the child how to draw the picture from start to finish. It is not like some books that skip steps. This outlines every single step, your little one will not be disappointed!

This book was perfect for my 5 year old. The step by step drawings were easy enough for her to do. There are many different drawings to choose from. It is a favorite of hers.
