What are drawings of those toys?

These are pictures of the toys you play with every day.

Imagine you have a favorite toy car, it’s red, has four wheels, and zooms across your floor like lightning. Now imagine someone took out a pencil and paper and drew that very same car on the page. That drawing is just like the real one, but it’s flat instead of 3D, and you can’t drive it, but you can still see what it looks like!

Drawings of toys show how they look from the outside. If a toy has buttons or wheels, the drawing will have those too, just like when you draw your favorite robot with its arms and legs.

Sometimes people make drawings to remember what a toy looks like before they build it, kind of like how you might draw a picture of your house before you put all the blocks together. Other times, they share these pictures so others can see what the toy looks like too!

So next time you look at a drawing of a toy, think of it as a picture version of something you already know and love!
