It starts with a round head and two ears, then the body and the tail appear, and the face comes last. On every step the new line is black and everything drawn earlier turns gray, so the child never has to hunt for what changed.
Then the child traces the finished drawing along the dotted line, so the hand learns the shape before drawing it alone. After that comes their own version in the blank space, and the finished picture can be colored in.

Questions parents ask
How do you draw a cat for a 5-year-old?
Start from one simple shape and add one detail per step. It starts with a round head and two ears, then the body and the tail appear, and the face comes last. Tracing the finished outline first makes the independent attempt easier.
