✨NEW READY SET DRAW! VIDEO✨
🦒🦈🪶 What do you get when you add a giraffe’s head to a shark’s body and give it an ostrich’s legs? A GIRSHARKSTRITCH!
It's a CHIMERA straight out of the imagination of Nick Bruel, creator of the New York Times bestselling Bad Kitty series. It's also a super fun way to introduce a character from Greek mythology to your class or after-school club in UNDER 10 MINUTES! All you need is paper and something to draw with, and Nick will show your kiddos how to sketch a CHIMERA of their own. 🎨
🖍️ Here's how it works: get your class to think of animal names and write them on scraps of paper. Drop them in a bowl & pull out three at random -- first is the head, second the body, third the legs. Then draw!
💡 Nick’s got a group version to try, too. One child picks an animal & draws the head, then passes the paper on; the next picks & draws the body, & so on!
🎬 Join Nick here or through the 🔗 in our bio 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadySetDrawWithNickBruel
🌟 Don't forget to share a 📸 of what your kids come up with in the comments! We'll feature our favorites here!

📣 KIDLIT TV KID QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I'm so good at drawing." 🍁
We ❤️ this KLTV Kiddo's confident quote on our Ready Set Draw! video featuring Aimée Sicuro showing kids how to create leaf art from her picture book IF YOU FIND A LEAF.
📖 About the book: In IF YOU FIND A LEAF, a young artist gathers colorful, fallen leaves & imagines each one into something new: a Japanese Zelkova leaf becomes a boat; a Honey Locust becomes a swing; and an American Basswood becomes a hot air balloon. Each illustration is made with a REAL leaf! 🍂
🎬 The perfect autumn activity to make at home or in the classroom -- join Aimée and learn how to make your own leaf art on Ready Set Draw! Watch here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/IfYouFindALeafReadySetDraw
🍎 Teachers, librarians, & parents: CALLING ALL KIDLIT TV KIDS! We want to hear what YOUR kids think. Leave us their review in the comments & we'll share our favorites here each week.
