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

This project combines Mat Man, scissor skills and our five senses. Students who are further ahead with scissor skills will cut out the head and the body. Everyone else will just cut out the body. The rest of the pieces are prepped for them. We talk about what body part is connected to each sense. #matman #fivessenses #scissors #cuttingshapes #justadotnotalot #glue #preschool #preschoolteacher #kindergarten #kinder #homeschool #homeschooling #momsoftiktok #mom #teacher #fun

This week in preschool, we're focusing on learning how to draw people using "Mat Man" from Handwriting Without Tears. We start by building Mat Man during circle time with a song that highlights each part of his body using big lines, little lines, big curves, and little curves. We practice drawing him on whiteboards and then on paper, which the students will add to their portfolios. Alongside this, our theme for the week explores what makes each person unique, supported by reading "All About Me"

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

Mat Man time with Handwriting Without Tears ✏️ We build Mat Man using the same big/little lines and big/little curves we use for capital letters and numbers—the blue mat is his body. This routine makes drawing people click: kids remember every part and where it goes, then carry it over to paper. Simple, memorable, and so effective.#onthisday | 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

Before diving into drawing Mat Man, we build him together during carpet time. This is our third lesson with Mat Man, where we construct him while listening to his song, leaving the figure in the middle of the carpet for visual reference. Each student then grabs a whiteboard, and I guide them through drawing him step-by-step as I sing—starting with the head, then moving on to other body parts. This method helps them visualize and replicate each part accurately on their own boards. This session no

Mat Man with Handwriting Without Tears ✏️🎶 We start with the language of lines—big lines, little lines, big curves, little curves—then build Mat Man. I model once with the song, we sit in a circle and everyone adds a piece, then I rebuild while kids draw on whiteboards, and finally we transfer to paper like a directed drawing to the song. All year we remix the song with our Star of the Week’s name and draw that friend for the Star book. | Preschool Vibes

He helps preschoolers learn how to draw a person in a simple, memorable way. The best part is the song—once they learn it, they don’t forget the body parts. We use
