Draw by Grid: Mermaids, Unicorns, And Other Cute Stuff

Draw by Grid: Mermaids, Unicorns, And Other Cute Stuff makes mermaids and magical friends a visual copying challenge, with the picture recreated one grid square at a time.

The activity experience

Fantasy subjects give young artists a starting place for a story that goes beyond the completed picture. Draw by Grid is intended for ages 5 and up. Its starting task is to observe a small part of the reference and place that part within the corresponding square.

Once the separate pieces form the whole cartoon, the child can choose whether to keep the pencil drawing or add colors and extra scenery. This gives the session two possible stages without requiring a finished color palette at the start. Create an imaginary meeting place for a mermaid and another magical character.

Pick this title for a child interested in looking carefully at mermaids and magical friends and enjoying the process of assembling a picture. The book uses grid copying rather than tracing a supplied outline or following the How to Draw series’ six-step sequence.
