Grown-up tip for this topic
These are simple drawings. Bodies look and work in different ways. Eyes and ears are plural here; hand and foot show one each. Two or more are called hands and feet. Use the words that fit your child’s experience.
LET’S PLAY TOGETHER
Listen. Look. Choose.
Hear or read the prompt together, then tap a picture. Take your time.

Draw a friendly face
Draw a simple face together, one part at a time. Say, ‘Here are the eyes. Here is the nose.’ Let your child choose what to add, point to a drawing or tell you a word.
A toy or picture can be your model. Nobody needs to touch another person, and no photos or recordings are needed.
Choose another topic whenever you’re ready →FOR PARENTS & CAREGIVERS
You make the learning meaningful.
Stay with your child, talk about the pictures and follow their interest. Saying a word is optional: pointing, gesturing and listening are welcome. Use your home language alongside English.
How much should we do?
Choose just a few words to begin. There is no target score, streak or required finish. Pause for real-world play and stop when your child is ready.
