Back in the days of the London Cartoon Centre (in Kensal Rise) Steve Whitaker did the Saturday morning Kids' Class (& I helped out a little bit).
Steve thought it would be a good idea to do a leaflet boiling down some of the basics that he tried to teach & we devised a hand-out, but inertia being what it was it was never completed (mainly my fault).

It's now available as a pdf to download - to use as a teaching aid or whatever - please distribute it as you need.
