Grid drawing for kids: how the method works

Learn how grid drawing activity books break cartoon pictures into smaller, manageable squares.

One square at a time

A grid drawing book for kids divides an image and a drawing space into corresponding squares. Instead of trying to copy a whole dinosaur, animal, or robot at once, the child can look closely at where a line enters and leaves each square. The Draw by Grid series is intended for ages 5 and up.

Who might enjoy it?

Grid drawing activity books often appeal to children who like to look carefully, work through a puzzle, or try a different approach after step-by-step lessons. There is no need to complete a page quickly. Children can sketch lightly, compare a few squares, and revise as they go.

Choose a familiar theme

A robot dinosaur grid drawing book brings together two interests, while cartoon animals or baby robots may feel more approachable to another child. If they would rather build a character in six visible stages, start with How to Draw; the methods can complement each other.
