1. Cultivate observation. To teach children to learn to draw animals well, we should first guide them to observe animals correctly and let them develop the observation method of whole first and then part. If you draw a panda, you should guide the children to observe that the panda is oval, then the head is round, and then observe the legs and other parts. In this way, from the whole to the local observation, let the children learn to analyze and compare, find out the similarities and differences, and master the whole. When taking children to the zoo, we can seize this opportunity to guide them to observe: in the process, we find that some animals are oval in shape. After careful observation, we found that the elephant's nose is the largest, the hedgehog's nose is the sharpest, the hippo's mouth is the largest, the giraffe's neck is the longest, and the rabbit's tail is the shortest. While guiding children to observe, we should give them more knowledge about animals and their living habits to help them find out the rules: some animals have big ears and small tails, but big tails and small ears. If a kitten's ears are small, its tail is long, while a rabbit's tail is short and its ears are long. Through observation, children became interested in animals and learned their morphological characteristics, which laid the foundation for drawing animal stick figures well.

2. Start with the basic painting. To draw a good animal stick figure, we should start with the most basic ellipse. Because children are familiar with ellipses, it is easy to draw them. Then on the basis of instructing children to draw an ellipse, add lines on the top, bottom, left and right sides or inside or outside of the ellipse from shallow to deep. The structure is very vivid, so that some animals with different shapes will come alive.

First, let the children draw a small oval with a short tail at one end, and a living tadpole will appear in front of them.

Draw a goldfish, first draw an oval-fish body, then draw a fish eye-circle, draw an arc between the eyes-fish mouth, and finally draw a fish tail-wavy line.

Drawing a frog is the same as drawing a goldfish. First draw an oval, draw two eyes, draw four legs on both sides of the body with an arc, and draw a few patterns on the body, and a frog will be drawn.

To draw a deer, first draw an ellipse as the head of the deer, then draw a long strip on the neck, then draw a big ellipse on the body, and finally draw legs and hooves, so that the deer can be drawn, and at the same time, adding some points to the body will be more vivid.

Through our guidance, children can draw some basic methods of simple animals. On this basis, children should be taught to master the characteristics of animals, such as ears, eyes, nose, legs, tail and so on. For example, a mouse's body can be oval, with a pointed mouth, a triangular head, long ears and a thin tail.

Although the morphological structure of some animals is not oval, their lying posture can be drawn by ellipse. Such as kittens, lambs, cows, foxes, etc. Can be summarized by ellipsis.

In short, being good at teaching them to master basic methods, encouraging children to paint boldly, inspiring them to exert their creativity freely, telling more stories about painters like Da Vinci painting eggs, and providing children with some reading materials about children's animal stories will help children draw stick figures well and cultivate some abilities from them.
