How To Teach Children To Draw Stars

I have an easy, fool proof way to teach children to draw stars. 


Grab some paper and something to write with.


Start by having your child write a capital A.


When completing the middle of the A, have your child extend the line through the A on both sides.


Starting at either the left or right side of the extended line, draw a line to the bottom of the opposite leg.


Draw a line from the remaining end of the extended line to the bottom of the opposite leg.


As easy as that, a star made and...


Before you know it, you'll have a sheet full of stars.

And, it all started with an A.

  2. What a clever way to teach how to draw a star. I would have never thought of starting with an A! Probably because I start out with a V which would be a complicated route to teach a kid.

  4. Haha. This is a very timely post. I was just trying to teach my 6 yr old to draw a star this past weekend. We made it through, but this way would have been so much easier and less frustrating for both of us. Great post.

  9. Leave it to you to find a better way to teach a kid to draw a star! I learned (and taught) by drawing the continuous line thing...so much harder. You are one clever and awesome mom!

  10. Super cool! I will try that with Lila today! (She can draw As... though Lucy seems light years away from that, I'm sure she'll be trying to scribble her letters soon, too!)
