Let’s get started
Today we will explore draw straight roads through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Draw vertical and horizontal roads for a toy car on large paper.
- Try it as a team: Explain your picture to an adult. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Choose an easy-to-hold drawing tool. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example

Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored draw straight roads. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Draw vertical and horizontal roads for a toy car on large paper. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about draw straight roads. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
