What is Guide Dots?
Guide Dots is a real art class in a box. We combine engaging video lessons with our unique Guide Dots method to help kids learn to draw—not trace. It's a hands-on art program that builds real artistic skills, confidence, and creativity.
We ship an all-in-one art class in a box to your door. Your child follows a video lesson while the dots keep their proportions on track — so they build genuine, hands-on drawing skills and finish projects they’re proud of.
Real drawing skills — no tracing
A video lesson with every project
Hands-on guidance that builds confidence
The “Right” Amount of Guidance
-
The "Right" Level
Just enough guidance to keep them moving — with plenty of room left for their own ideas.
-
Hands-on Guides
Real, tangible dot guides ship to your door for a level of support video alone can’t give.
-
Proportion
Dots nail the proportions, so drawings stop looking “wonky” and kids stay encouraged.
-
Originality
Within each lesson kids find their own style — and their free-hand drawing gets stronger.
