  4. My daughter is left handed, so thank you so much for thinking of offering it for left handed children. I never thought of the challenge she would have doing symmetry until I saw your left handed download. I appreciate it!

  6. Re: mirror drawing, good exercise, but please, in your demonstration photo, show the child holding the pencil properly - google proper pencil grip.

    1. This grip would be considered developmentally appropriate for primary students. Any pinch grip is acceptable.

  9. I’ve noticed that whenever I try drawing with kids, the hardest part isn’t the lines themselves but keeping balance between both sides. Symmetry really shows you how much small details can change the whole picture. It kind of reminds me of how lighting works in photography—just shifting the angle slightly can make the whole shot feel different. When I first started experimenting outdoors, I had no clue about aperture or shutter speed for portraits, and my photos were either too dark or washed out. Later I stumbled upon this guide on outdoor portrait settings https://skylum.com/blog/best-outdoor-portrait-photography-settings and it gave me simple explanations that actually made sense. I still use those tips today when shooting in natural light, especially during the golden hour, and it’s made the process so much less frustrating.
