Review How To Draw Monsters Books for Kids

Drawing Monsters Can Be Fun And Educational!

Drawing monsters is fun and can be educational as well as encouraging a child to stay focused on a task simply because they love it.

Is your child one of those kids who can't seem to sit still for more than two minutes?

If you give him a picture to color does he speed through it, not caring what it looks like, so he can move on to something else?

Do you have to follow along behind him and finish his chores because he zipped through them so he could get that cookie you promised?

Those are the signs of someone who requires instant gratification. Your child doesn't have time to focus on doing anything well, he doesn't care if he's giving it 100% effort, and he doesn't care what the results are when he's done. He just wants to complete the task, grab his reward, and move on to the next bright, shiny object.

As an adult, you know your child needs to learn the value of seeing a project through from start to finish and he needs to learn what it feels like to be proud of his work. But first you have to find a project that will hold his attention!

Every kid likes to draw and who doesn't love monsters!

Books that Teach a Child to Draw

Books that teach your child how to draw allow him to use his imagination but they also teach him a few things while he's having fun:

Draw 50 Beasties

Accomplishment: Drawing is always fun and your child gets to use his imagination. In the end there's a sense of accomplishment when his monster actually looks like the one in the book.

Creativity: Your child will learn how to break drawings down into simple shapes and how to use his imagination to flesh out the monsters. This skill might seem trivial now but it forms the basis of the problem solving skills he'll need later in life.

Eye/Hand Coordination: Following the guides in the book while he draws his own monsters will help develop your child's eye/hand coordination and improve his skill at recognizing spatial relationships.

Following Instructions: Who would have thought that something as easy as drawing monsters would teach your child how to follow instructions? Do you know how many adults are out there who can't pass a test because they can't follow a simple instruction like "Print your name here"?

Drawing Is Fun And Educational
A lot of arts and crafts projects that your children enjoy require at least some adult supervision. The drawback is you have to show them how to use scissors or how to glue things together. Most of the time you have to read the directions first and break it down into terms your child can understand.

Drawing is different. There is no right or wrong way to draw a picture and the only equipment involved is a pencil and a piece of paper. No matter what the monster looks like when your child gets done it's going to be unique and creative because it comes from his own imagination.
