It’s not difficult to draw a route from home to school and back. It can contain both objects that you directly encounter along the way, and distant ones. We give a lesson on how to draw a general route from your home to school. We are sure that you understand that each child has a strictly individual route. Roads, houses, real estate objects along your path, and pedestrian crossings will be arranged in your own way. You just have to understand how such a route is built in general terms, what elements it consists of. Well, let's begin!
Stage 1. Draw a general view of our route. On paper we build a large rectangle along almost the entire perimeter of the sheet. These are the boundaries of our route. We divide it into several parts by road lines. Each road consists of two lines. We will have two roads here: one, long, along the sheet, the other, shorter, across, it connects to the long road, but does not intersect it. That is, we have two streets on the route. At the bottom of the left side of the sheet, draw four rectangles. These are houses on your street, one of them, the outermost one, will be your place of residence.
Stage 2. Now we draw the lines of pedestrian paths - sidewalks. These are straight lines, parallel to each other at a distance narrower than the lines of roadways. Here we will depict the outlines of the school. At the top of the sheet we will draw a rectangle - the school yard, and in it we will show the building of your educational institution.
Stage 3. Now we will mark two buildings with crosses: the school and your house. Then, with dotted lines, we will depict your path from school home through the school yard, then along one sidewalk, then crossing the road through a pedestrian crossing, then along another sidewalk, and so on until your house. This is your daily journey from home to school and back.
Stage 4. At this stage, near the sidewalks on different sides, we will draw in rectangles the objects near which we pass along the road. This is a large rectangle - a hypermarket and small squares - shops. They are located opposite each other at the pedestrian crossing. Behind the shops we will mark a distant object with a curved line - the border of the park.
Stage 5. Now let's draw another pedestrian path across the roadway; opposite your house across the road there are three residential buildings similar to yours. Behind them, a little further away, we will place a large oval - this is the stadium. He is also a distant object.
Stage 6. Here we will color our route. Let's make the houses blue. Orange Stadium. The park is green, the hypermarket and shops are lilac, the school is gray. Roads for cars are light gray, sidewalks are dark gray. We will highlight your travel route with a red dotted line.
Stage 7. It remains to apply inscriptions on the elements of our route. Make them crisp black on light objects and white on dark objects.
All roads lead to Rome. Even roads from Rome lead to Rome. And when they tell you that there is no turning back, don’t believe it! Lies and provocation, you can always go to Rome. It turns out that there is one road for everyone?! Let's find out how to draw a road with a pencil. The road is the fruit of diligently pressing the grass to the ground with your feet. As a result, paths appeared in places where bodies of various consistencies often passed. Our ancestors did not sparkle with a pure and bright mind, and the paths helped them find the right paths.
But then a grand discovery happened - people developed a wheel. And, as it turned out, it interacts very well with paths of various types. It rolls around, makes various turns and doesn’t look bad at all. Since then, people have used the wheel and paths together. And the wheel lived happily ever after. But the path has fallen on hard times.
With the development of infrastructure in the industrial and civil sector, the paths, due to frequent use, became inconvenient, sandy, the ground cracked and collapsed. Then the roads began to be covered with various semblances of today's asphalt.
History says that the first real roads appeared in Rome, so they all lead to Rome. Men with olive branches on their heads loved to ride, but did not like to carry sleds. The chariots developed at that time were less a means of transportation and more a luxury. And the road must correspond to the transport. So the slaves riveted thousands of slabs with which the whole of Rome was littered. And now briefly about interesting roads:
- The longest highway in the world is the Pan-American Highway, which is only 47,958 km long. Just count how much time it will take you to cover such a track at a speed of 100 km/h.
- From the realm of fantasy. Russian roads are considered the most expensive in the world. This is not a joke; the price of building a kilometer of road in our country costs many times more than in the USA or Europe. So that's why Napoleon was so afraid of our roads.
- In developed countries, traffic jams are caused by poor organization of traffic infrastructure. And in India, traffic jams are caused by cows. It often happens that artiodactyls simply come and lie down on the asphalt, and since they are very holy, no one risks driving them away.
- And the biggest traffic jam occurred in China (and why am I not surprised?). In 2010, such a traffic jam was created that its unwitting participants drove 100 kilometers in approximately 5 days. And the traffic jam lasted from August 14 to August 25.
Let your road be bright and straight, and let the turns, even sharp ones, take you to new, pleasant horizons. Let's get started with the drawing lesson.
How to draw a road with a pencil step by step
Step one. 
Step two. 
Step three. 
Step four. 
Step five. If the road is too simple and boring for you, try drawing one of these.
Preparing to draw a route sheet from home to school
To start drawing a route, you should be well prepared for this work:
- Prepare a real map. You can get directions using Google Maps, zoom in and print;
- Take some blank sheets. Drawing a route from home to school is not always done on one sheet of paper; sometimes a draft is needed. For school homework, you can use a notebook sheet or regular A4. If you are drawing a diagram for home use, then it is better to depict the route on whatman paper.
- Sharpen your pencils and colored pencils. It is recommended to draw with pencils, as they make it very easy to draw small details.
How to draw a route from home to school
If you printed the map from the Internet, then the task is very easy to complete. The first thing to do is to draw the most important or largest street.
Place some important objects on it that your child remembers. There is a shopping center where the child often buys toys, the house of his best friend, or maybe his kindergarten is located there? Record and sign this place. 
Draw the house and school in relation to this street. Be sure to write “school” and “home” in large letters. And highlight both places with bright colors. 
If you are not drawing a schematic map from home to school, then it is worth highlighting the roadway and sidewalk separately. Draw a traffic light and a crossing where the child crosses this road. 
For those who travel by bus or metro, you can mark the safe route to the stop, write its name, indicate the bus number at the stop itself, or draw it. In addition, it is advisable to write down the number of stops the child travels. The further journey should begin from the final stop to the school.
Safe route from home to school
- If your child has several options for going to school, you should choose the safest one. You should not choose a path where there is heavy traffic or dark deserted streets;
- Before your child starts going to school on his own, make sure that the child has learned (green traffic light, which side to bypass public transport, etc.). The route map from home to school should reflect all the dangers that may arise along the child’s path. This could be sharp turns, cars leaving the enterprise, often broken traffic lights, a busy street, any restrictions on visibility, etc.;
- Use conventions. You can take those that the student already knows, or come up with your own. It is better if the child independently identifies and draws these icons. This will make it easier for him to remember what meaning they carry. Below, under your map, place icons with an explanation of what they mean.
When drawing a route sheet, you need to not only record the entire route and all the important objects that come along the way, but also highlight dangerous areas. Highlight them with a bright color and label them “danger.”
Be sure to follow the route with your child directly on this map after completing your drawing. If such a walk is not yet possible, make paper people and play a role-playing game with your baby.
When drawing a route diagram from home to school, remember that this is first of all a hint for your child, which will ensure his safety, and only then - seemingly routine homework.
