This is such a fun drawing book for bug-loving kids! It’s a great way to learn how to draw all kinds of bugs, with step-by-step instructions that are doable for my 7-year-old and older kids. It's a bit too challenging for my 5-year-old, but for elementary-aged kids who love bugs, this is a great choice!

Fun How to Draw for kids

Great bug book! My 5 year old enjoyed identifying and drawing all the different types of bugs. Her favorite is the drawing prompts at the end of the book where she puts her new skills to the test.

Great activity book for hot summer days

Heading into summer, this book is a favorite! Love going on nature walks while it is still cool outside in the mornings and then coming back to draw what we have seen.
