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

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

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. | Preschool Vibes

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

How we learn to draw people (Mat Man HWT) ✏️🎶 We start with Handwriting Without Tears language—big line, little line, big curve, little curve—the same pieces we use for letters and numbers. I model Mat Man on the blue mat with the song, then we build together (each child adds a piece). Next, kids draw on whiteboards to the song (pause between parts) and finally transfer to paper step-by-step. All year, we practice during Star of the Week—we swap in the child’s name in the Mat Man song and draw

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

In preschool, we start name writing by focusing on the first letter of each student's name. We begin by building their letter on Mat Man’s blue mat, then progress to tracing and writing it in a dry erase pocket. Students practice tracing first, then try writing on their own within the provided space. We ensure they've mastered this initial letter before moving on to the full name, laying a solid foundation for further handwriting skills.#onthisday | Preschool Vibes

Here's a follow-up to my original Mat Man video—this time, my son is taking the lead! After many requests to see him do it independently, here he is figuring it out all by himself. It's delightful to see his understanding and creativity in action. How adorable is that? Yes, he absolutely nailed it! | Preschool Vibes
