Vikas Drawing and Colouring is a series of 10 books in Art Education with a very fresh look. Prepared for students from KG to Secondary levels, these books are designed with a vision of the interests as well as needs of children at various stages. Book B, the second book in the series, provides graded colouring exercises for KG kids. What’s more, this book teaches the children the basics of drawing. Children are also taught to make dots and strokes, and to draw vertical and horizontal lines. These drawing exercises would help improve the motor functions of the hands of children and give more control to their fingers. These activities may also help the children in improving their handwriting. Art teachers may encourage the children to practise more of such exercises in rough drawing books.
