Shape Bus Drawing
Parent guides child in drawing and cutting out a bus made of shapes, then coloring it together. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's ability to draw squares and circles independently, fine motor control during cutting and coloring, and color recognition during conversation — building pre-writing skills through creative play.
Free to do together whenever you like.

Table or flat surface with paper, crayons, and child-safe scissors. Parent should be positioned to observe child's drawing and cutting technique. Ensure adequate lighting and space for creative work.
