These are the simplest subjects in our series: a dog, a cat, a flower, a rainbow, a rocket, a house. A child recognizes each of them at first sight, and each one is built from a few shapes. That is exactly what a beginner needs: a picture that looks possible.
On every step the new line is black and the lines drawn earlier are gray, so the child always sees what to add next. After the steps comes the dotted outline: tracing it first teaches the hand the shape, and then the blank space no longer feels scary.
These ten pages are real pages from our printed book, drawn by hand. Print as many as you like. No account, no email, nothing to pay.

Are these really free?
Yes. No account, no email, no payment. Print as many copies as you want, at home or at a school.

Yes, print them and hand them out freely. Please do not resell them or republish the files on another site.
Which file do I print, Letter or A4?
In the United States and Canada, choose Letter. In Europe and Latin America, choose A4. The drawing is the same, only the sheet size differs.
