Hand-painted picture books sound like a very high threshold. However, I found the author and the horse of the picture book and found that the current situation was not professional. Other mothers can also learn from her process of making picture books.

Step 1: conceive a story

Poor kindergartens give parents a task: to complete small works of gratitude with their children.

My mother thought: I like reading picture books and listening to my mother tell stories. Let's make a picture book with him.

So she combined the picture book stories she usually read with the situation and their own life scenes, and conceived a grateful story of crows feeding back.

Tip: When reading picture books with your children, you find a story that is particularly suitable for your life. You can pay attention to recording it. Refer to the picture book story and make up your own story with your child.

Step 2: Find a role prototype

Mom has no professional painting training, so she will find some prototypes for reference when she conceives. For example, the picture of mother and mother embracing in the right picture is a modification on the basis of the left picture.

According to these changes, mother Kuang will draw a good manuscript.

Tip: When designing a character, you can invite children to participate. Mom said that the only fly in the ointment this time was that the children didn't participate in designing this image. When I first saw the manuscript, I was puzzled and said, "Isn't the little boy here me?" Next time, I will definitely refer to the opinions of the situation more.

Step 3: Color with your child.

This stage is the easiest for children to participate. The picture above shows mom and mom combining to color the manuscript. When mom and mom disagree, mom will give up part of it to make a decision.

Tip: Because it is a kindergarten assignment, my mother will be perfect according to the standards of adults. In the next creation, my mother decided to give her more room to play and make the picture book more "naive".

Step 4: Bind into a book.

In this way, a parent-child manual picture book is completed. If you want to do the same crafts with your children on Thanksgiving Day, your mother's works may give you some inspiration.
