Drawing is one of the first fine motor skills kids learn. Most kids start scribbling around 15 months. As they develop, those squiggles start to mean something.

By the time they're 3, they're ready to start drawing recognizable shapes, and by 4, they'll probably surprise you with a sweet family portrait. As their skills advance, you can help them take their sketching skills to new heights.

These easy drawing ideas for kids are something the whole family can enjoy. Some are simple enough for preschoolers. Others are perfect for the big kids.
