How to Try This Frankenstein Line Study Yourself
Starting with this activity is easy! First, download the free printable and print it out on a sheet of paper. Get the rest of your supplies ready.
Next, hand over the fine tip marker to your little one, and get him to fill up each section of the Frankenstein (except the eyes) with lines, as straight as he can get them.
This activity can take time, but can be a great way to improve your toddler’s focus, and also sharpen his fine motor skills and drawing abilities.
Once he’s done filling up the entire picture with lines, ask him to add color to it!
Sure, green and purple may be the perfect colors to use, but if your little one’s imagination is taking him wild, and he wants to experiment with other colors, let him!
While your little one is at work, you can get some chores sorted out, or sit down and teach him about Halloween, its traditions and even lend him a glimpse into Frankenstein and his story.
Once done, trim off the excess white margin around the edges, and that’s it!
You can also cut out and stick this Frankenstein on a sheet of card paper, and even frame it out if you’re up for it.
