How To Make These Zog Themed Children’s Reading Resources
To make these reading resources you will need to find a Zog book or look online for images.
Simply draw the images and outlines using a pencil. You don’t need to be an expert and everyone has a different skill level when it comes to drawing.
Once you have your outline for this Zog craft, use your paints or posca painting pens to paint the outline.
It can also be a good idea to include your little one in this activity as much as you can. If he’s able to paint within lines, hand over the paint pen to him!
Repeat the process for the other Zog characters from this fun kids book. You may want to draw the outlines all at once or make one at a time. That is totally up to you.
You can also use a black pen or posca paint pen to outline the Zog characters, the dragon, princess and doctor.
It’s that simple. There you have some super cute and fun reading resources to use during mat time or as an activity to make with the kids. This is a great way to extend children’s interest in a book and a fun and creative way to enjoy literacy.
