Combine history, art, and cursive handwriting in one non-consumable book!

Each book in the Draw and Write Through History series includes directions for drawing and coloring a person or object representing an event in history. Included are visual step-by-step instructions for drawing and then coloring and shading using suggested Prismacolor pencils.
Short paragraphs with historical information accompany each picture. As an added bonus, there is copy work written in Zaner Bloser Cursive. Cursive is becoming a lost art. Many schools have dropped it yet many educational studies have shown that cursive handwriting aids both mental development and eye-hand coordination skills. Even if your child doesn't do the copy work, it's a great exercise for them to read the page-long cursive articles!
