Tips for Teachers – Drawing the Tiger Cub
1. Prepare Visual References
Have a picture of a real tiger cub handy. This inspires children and shows how their cartoon relates to a real animal.
2. Break Down the Drawing into Clear Steps
Tiger faces can look tricky at first. Guide the class through one section at a time—head shape, ears, eyes, nose, then stripes.
3. Remind Children to Draw Lightly First
Light lines are easier to adjust as they build up the tiger’s face and body.
4. Encourage Personal Touches
Invite students to give their tiger cub unique expressions—sleepy, cheeky, or curious.
5. Share Kind Feedback
After finishing, highlight something positive about each child’s work. This helps them feel proud of their efforts.
