What is stencil?

A stencil is like a cookie cutter for drawing, it helps you make shapes easier and faster.

Imagine you're coloring on paper, but instead of trying to draw perfect circles or squares by hand, you use a stencil, which is like a little plastic shape with holes in it. You put the stencil on your paper, and then you color through the holes, and poof, you have a perfect circle or square without having to draw it all yourself!

• You place the stencil where you want your shape.
• Then you use crayons, markers, or even paint to color on top of it.
• When you lift the stencil, you're left with a clean, sharp shape, just like when you press a cookie cutter into dough and then cut it out.

It’s like having a helper that makes your drawings look neat and professional, no more wobbly lines or messy edges! A stencil is like a cookie cutter for drawing, it helps you make shapes easier and faster.
