This is a fun way to learn to draw a cockatoo, also useful for practicing counting, copying skills and pencil control. Copy the cockatoo from the grid on the left to the grid on the right, square by square.
I love this budgie illustration - and I think children would get a real sense of achievement if they copy the picture successfully. Having the grid to work from really helps, especially if you take it square by square.
Ravens are thought to be very intelligent birds - can the kids use their own brain power and concentration skills to copy the picture from one grid to another? Careful counting and copying square by square can make this task easier...
