 Last night, I drew an eye using just a pencil and had a great time. It was a bit therapeutic as most of drawings lately are digital. However, whatever you use for drawing, drawing is beneficial in many ways. Here is a list of drawing benefits:
There are many more benefits but I hope this list will encourage you to draw and add art to your learning day! Happy drawing!  This is an updated freebie that's great to add to any unit studies about the 7 elements of art. It's a popular freebie and there are 7 no prep printables with 63 mini drawing workouts for your student(s) to stretch his or her imagination, while nurturing creativity and problem solving skills. Fun for any age but I recommend using these with 1st grade or higher! If you download this freebie, please comment below. I would really appreciate that. Thank you!
 Who doesn't enjoy stickers? I've always liked stickers as a kid and as an adult, especially when I send out cards, notes, or grade my kids homeschool work. I decided to create these sticker resources for educators and parents that are fun, versatile for personal or educational projects, and easy to print out directly from your computer. All you'll need is a 1.5" round label sheet, sticker sheet, or printing paper and you'll be set. Check out my current sticker resource line HERE (just launched, so I'll be adding more designs soon) or join my subscription platforms, Teach Simple or Teacher Sherpa, for sticker and art resources. For now you can grab this autumn inspired sticker pack freebie below. Enjoy and happy sticking!

Use this list for art days, sub days, brain breaks, early finishers, homeschool and so much more. Need more art ideas: Try expanding on a drawing prompt idea.

I thought it would be fun to share our family's book list of living books that we have read and ones that are currently reading together. Living books are wonderful novels that bring a topic to life with fascinating characters and subjects and peek the curiosity of the reader. I'll update this post with each new book that we start or that we are adding to our home library. My children enjoy reading independently and enjoy comics and humorous books and I wanted to expose them to classical and beautiful stories by read a loud together. I think it's very important to allow our children to choose their own books to read as I'm sure this will help them enjoy reading. Please share any of your favorite living books by commenting below! Currently reading together:

Here is a fun summer project for young learners during those hot days. Kids enjoy creating things with their name on it and I decided to put together this fun and easy "crab on the sand" craft activity. They can use their name or favorite word using the pebble printables. There is an optional template page where they can create their own background. This easy craft is great for young learners as well as special needs students that are currently working on fine motor skills and tasks. The shapes are simple to trim and glue together, making this a great project to work on independently during the summer or throughout the year. Use on white cardstock for each activity as the paper is sturdy. Click on the button below to purchase it at Doodle Thinks Independent shop. Have a TPT account? Purchase it here. Happy crafting!

There's a quote by artist, David Hockney, that says, "The urge to draw must be deep within us because children love to do it" that made me think of my children's artistic curiosity. I couldn't agree more with this quote because my children, who are both different in their artistic journey, each show creativity and excitement when they are given a drawing resource or encouraged to draw something.
