Using crayons start with a large circle of the head on the watercolor paper. You can help your child and draw the circle make it nice a big so they can more room to work with. Talk with them as they fill in the facial features and ask them what kind of shapes they can/ are using and why? Encourage them to use bright, fun colors like Picasso. Have fun.
