Okay, little artist! Let's learn how to follow directions to finish a picture together!

1. Listen Carefully: First, you need to listen to the directions. It's like a treasure map that tells you how to complete your picture!

2. Look at the Tools: Gather your crayons, markers, or colored pencils. These are your tools to bring your picture to life!

3. Step by Step: When you get a direction, like 'Draw a sun in the corner,' try to do just that. Take your time and focus on one thing at a time.

4. Check Off Steps: If you have a list of things to do, check them off. It’s like completing a mission!

5. Ask for Help! If you get stuck or don’t understand something, ask a grown-up or a friend for help. They can guide you.

6. Have Fun: Remember, this is your picture. Follow the directions, but also add your own special touches to make it unique!

7. Show It Off: Once your picture is done, share it with others! They will love to see what you created by following the directions!

So, let’s grab our crayons and get started! Following directions can be super fun!
