I love doing directed drawings with my kindergarten class because they hit so many skills – listening, following directions, fine motor, and more! This spring chick directed drawing is perfect when learning about life cycles or oviparous animals!

I like to use directed drawings to compliment a book we are reading or as a fun addition to a science unit. They are a fun way to brighten up our room!
If your writing center is themed like mine, you can add the visual directions for the directed drawings for students to do independently:
