Children can learn to draw with this engaging EYFS Amazing World - Rainforests I Can Draw activity. It includes a variety of rainforest-themed images, along with clear, step-by-step drawing guides for drawing a sloth, toucan, gorilla, tiger and orangutan.
As they follow the guides, children will strengthen their fine motor skills and grow in confidence, while also having the opportunity to personalise their artwork with colour and added details.
This activity works well for both small group and whole-class sessions. The guides can also be placed in an art, mark-making or drawing area to promote independent practice and support the development of early drawing and fine motor skills.
