Do you want to make drawing exciting for your children? Sometimes, it’s challenging to develop spontaneous craft activities for kids. When short on ideas, we resort to our old favourites, such as drawing. To make matters worse, our children may balk at the idea of drawing.
Here are some quick ideas to excite your children about drawing once again.
Get your children excited about drawing with some of these fun drawing ideas! #kidsactivities Share on X
Creative Ways to Make Drawing Exciting
Easel drawing
Set up the easel with a large piece of paper, assorted pencils, and crayons. I keep a large stack of paper by my daughter’s easel so she can make as many drawings as she likes. I also rotate the drawing materials every few days.
Drawing with feet
Tape a large piece of paper to the wall and encourage your children to lie on their backs. Demonstrate how you hold the crayons with your toes—and draw! (You can also try mouth drawing.)
Super-sized drawing
Tape a massive piece of paper to your kitchen table. Add containers of felt markers, pencil crayons, and wax crayons.
Upside-down drawing
Tape a piece of paper under a table and watch your kids delight in drawing under the table!
Drawing on different materials
Get your children to draw on tin foil, wax paper, or coffee filters. Sometimes, a different material can bring new excitement to the activity!
Self-portraits
Set out a mirror, some drawing implements, and a piece of paper. Observe your children to create masterpieces of themselves!
Still-life
Place a bowl of fruit, pine cones, or other objects on the table. A simple provocation can provide a world of inspiration for your little artists.
Rainbow drawings
Tape several markers or crayons together and observe your child explore drawing with them.
Light table drawings
Tape a piece of paper to a light table. Provide markers and wax crayons. You could also do away with the paper and provide sand on the light table for your child to draw in. Be ready to take pictures of their creations!
Clipboard drawings
Attach a pencil on a long string to a clipboard. Make sure there’s lots of paper on the clipboard!
Musical drawings
Play classical music and encourage your child to draw while listening to the tunes. Ask them to draw what they hear.
So, the next time your child says drawing is boring, try one of these quick fixes! You’re guaranteed to get them excited about drawing again.
