Mr Men Drawing

Mr Men are fun characters for children to draw as they are bright, simple and have a basic shape which children will be familiar with such as a circle, square or triangle. Before beginning this activity talk with the students about the different shapes they can see in the Mr Men. Also discuss that some characters may be better drawn landscape and others portrait depending on their shape. This activity come with a set of criteria which can be used to explicitly let students know what is expected of them.
