Using the easy landscape drawing for kids worksheets

You can guide children through each step of the easy landscape drawings if they need assistance. In this way, you can involve English language learning by not only talking about the objects they are sketching but also where they are on the page (prepositions of place).

For older and slightly more advanced learners you can even describe each step verbally without giving them a visual copy of the instructions. This makes for a great listening activity and can produce some hilarious results when the finished pictures are viewed. Just make sure to teach any required vocabulary before you start. For some similar activities, check out the prepositions drawing worksheets.

It is important to make sure children don’t worry too much about small mistakes. Some students may agonize over the finest of details when drawing their landscape. Let them know that these are variations to the pictures, not mistakes, they add a personal touch to the drawings.

Completing the easy landscape drawings

Once kids have completed the instructions, they can add some more fine details and objects they like. There is plenty of blank space in these landscape drawings that young Picassos can fill in with additional art.

They can add touches to the trees and mountains to make them more realistic or even draw in some new plants and geography. Students may want to improve the skylines with more clouds or birds. They may even want to put some animals in these simple landscape drawings, check out the easy drawings for beginners page for some great animal ideas.

Finally, kids will more than likely want to add some color to their pictures. This can easily be done with colored pencils or crayons. There is no need to follow the guides on the PDF instructions, use them just for inspiration. Let learners color their drawings any way they see fit.

If you have the time, and resources, and are not afraid to get messy, this can be the perfect time to introduce paints to the classroom. Just be aware that setting paints up, cleaning brushes, and putting everything away take a while. The safest option here is to use watercolor paints. Watercolors are easy to clean and tend not to end up on everything!
