## Lesson Outline
### Introduction (5 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Warm-up**: Begin with a cheerful greeting and invite students to sit in a circle.
2. **Brief Discussion**: Ask students if they have ever created any craft items or seen any. Let them share their experiences briefly.
3. **Introduction to the Topic**: Introduce the topic by showing images of different craft items like a kite, a paper boat, and a simple house drawing. Explain that today, they'll learn how to draw these items.
### Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

### Guided Practice (15 minutes)
1. **Group Activity**: Divide students into small groups and provide each group with drawing paper and pencils.
2. **Step-by-Step Instructions**: Guide each group through drawing their chosen craft item. Walk around the room to offer assistance and encouragement.
3. **Discussion**: While they are drawing, talk about the shapes and lines they are using. Make connections to everyday objects.
### Independent Practice (10 minutes)
1. **Individual Drawing**: Ask each student to choose one craft item they like from the demonstration and draw it independently on their own sheet of paper.
2. **Coloring**: Once they have finished their drawings, encourage them to color their pictures using the colored pencils or crayons.
### Closure (5 minutes)
1. **Presentation**: Allow a few students to present and explain their drawings to the class.
