Mat Man from Handwriting Without Tears is by far the best way I’ve found to teach preschoolers how to draw all the body parts of a person! We use Mat Man all year during our Star of the Week book, inserting each child’s name into the Mat Man song to make it personal and fun.#onthisday | Preschool Vibes

This week, Mat Man is taking over our classroom! He's built from the same big lines, little lines, big curves, and little curves we use for writing capital letters and numbers. Mat Man isn't just fun—he teaches us how to draw a person, emphasizing each body part in his catchy song. This helps our preschoolers remember to include all parts, like the body, legs, and even where they're supposed to go, rather than drawing arms coming out of the head! | Preschool Vibes

In our classroom, we use Mat Man from the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum to learn how to draw a person using the same lines and curves found in capital letters. My students adore the catchy song that accompanies this lesson, and we find ourselves singing it throughout the year. It's especially helpful in teaching them to understand and include all parts of the body in their drawings. #handwritingwithouttears | Preschool Vibes
