Trace Then Color: Baby Robots

Trace Then Color: Baby Robots turns little robots into a two-part creative activity: follow the character lines, then decide how the picture should look in color.

The activity experience

Small mechanical characters give machine-loving kids an approachable cast with a playful feel. The book belongs to Trace Then Color, the series intended for ages 3 and up. Children begin with a character outline rather than having to plan the whole drawing on an empty page.

Use the tracing as the opening task and the decorating as the personal part of the project. A child can return to a favorite subject, invent markings, or choose a palette just because it feels fun. Make up the first job a little robot would learn to do.

Choose this title when little robots are the interest that will bring a child to the art table. The activity combines pencil work with color choices; it is different from a six-step lesson or a grid-copying challenge. Let the child decide how much to finish in one sitting.
