Creative Form Drawing with Children Aged 9-12 by Angela Lord

Creative Form Drawing with children: Workbook 2 is a form drawing resource for teachers working with ages 9-12. It replaces the previous title, 'Creative Form Drawing for Children aged 10-12 years' and is designed to be used with the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum in classes four and five, although it will also be valuable to home-educating parents using the Steiner/Waldorf ethos as their base.

Creative form drawing helps children develop hand-eye co-ordination, spatial orientation, observations skills, confident movement, drawing skills and the foundations of handwriting. Originally developed by Rudolf Steiner, creative form drawing is widely used in Steiner/Waldorf schools to enable healthy child development and learning.
