Then it becomes a book
Photograph each finished drawing. We clean the shadow and the kitchen-light yellow off the paper without touching a single line your child drew, lay the twelve entries out as a specimen catalogue, and hand you a print-ready PDF.
Printing, drawing, uploading and layout are all free. You pay only if you want the finished file.
The same booklet, read as a comic instead.
Questions about these ideas
- What age are these monster drawing ideas for?
- They work from about age 3 to 10. Younger children draw one shape with legs on it, older children start inventing rules about what the monster eats. Both are correct answers.
- Do I need to print anything?
- No. The ideas work on any blank paper. The printable sheets just give a frame to draw inside so the drawing fits the page neatly.
- What happens to the drawings after that?
- You photograph them, we clean up the paper and shadows without touching a single line your child drew, and we lay them out as book pages in a PDF.
