drawing activity books

Each Squiggle Kids drawing activity book is created with a developmental focus and includes a fun and engaging narrative and simple drawing prompts. Here’s the why:

• Children’s drawing skills vary and it’s important to provide stimuli and activities that are developmentally appropriate.
• Shared book reading is a go-to literacy activity for children where the book is the script. Our drawing activity books build on that idea – including stories to guide the drawing activity – and engage both adult and child and encourage working together to complete the activities. Through drawing, the child can contribute to the story telling, as well as put a stamp of ownership on the book.
• Simple drawing prompts and drawing starters help alleviate barriers to getting started. We have observed that children (adults too…) can have trouble starting a drawing, indeed anything at all with a stark blank page. We’ve termed this “blank page fright” (a play on “stage fright”). 

See here (right) for some hints for parents and carers on working on Squiggle Kids drawing activity books.

The current range of Squiggle Kids drawing books can be divided into two groups:

• Starting Circles books
• Extending From Circles books 

Children’s drawing skills vary, including among children of a similar age. As the age of the child is a guide only, the descriptions included in the image (right) will help you select books for your child.

The prices in the shop on this website are for personal use (such as using the books with your child or children) only.

If you are a kindergarten, school or other organisation, please contact squigglekidsau@gmail.com. We have separate pricing for use in kindergarten, school or other organisational settings.
