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.

The possibilities are endless as you are able to make this list as simple or as complex as you would like. This is an open-ended list that will engage your learners and help them to think outside the box. Page break after every list of 50. Stay tune for more ideas to be added to this list!

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:
Some of our favorite books that we read together and thoroughly enjoyed:

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.
Hi there! I'm wishing you a wonderful December of creative ideas and completed projects. December is a time of year that is BUSY for many, with the holidays and new year around the corner, here is a gentle reminder to slow down and create something just for fun. Doodle in your sketchbook, make a card, bake cookies, make diy gifts, get creative with your Christmas and holiday decorations and don't forget to spend face to face time with loved ones. Happy creating and before you go, check out a few of my creative Christmas projects and drawing activities below (just click on the image to be directed to my TpT shop and if you are on a budget, check out my freebies on here and at my TpT shop):    Besides summer, the autumn season will be one of my favorite season due to the cozy season and spices smell. I have such a fun time creating drawing activities for specific seasons. My roll and draw games are one of my popular art resources because each game sheet can be played multiple times. This means students will have many drawings to admire and enjoy. Plus it is very low prep and easy to use. I created a set related to pumpkins as a tribute to the autumn season.
Included in the Friendly Shape Pumpkin Game Sheets:
Have fun and enjoy pumpkins, pumpkin spice and everything nice! Hi There! I wanted to share the many benefits of doodling and why it is important to encourage children to doodle. My daughter loves to doodle and this is why I wanted to write this post. Here are the 5 benefits (there are many more but I wanted to list my personal top 5):
I hope that you are encourage to grab a pencil and paper and doodle yourself. Doodling is relaxing as there is no pressure to create any master pieces. It is an organic way of creating art and the exciting thing is that it is a stepping stone to an expanded idea.
 Hi Everyone! It has been awhile since my latest post. I have been taking this summer to really create products and I am having a blast. I truly enjoy creating resources that encourages drawing and art. It has been a joy. This month has been my best month in producing resources as well as sales at my TPT shop. Who would've thought that this is where my art endeavor took me! I homeschool my children and we started the school year in the beginning of August. I wanted a head start for us to catch up and review some of last year's curriculum. My goal for this school year is to start incorporating some of my own art resources in our learning as I think they are old enough. I encourage each of you to find ways to add art to all subjects as I think children naturally gravitate to creating art. It engages them and truly build up their confidence. With this said check out my Back to School Artist Pack and have a blessed year!
 Summer is always fun when drawing is involved. Whether at the beach, in class before summer break or in the backyard of one's home. Students will have fun with this roll and draw game sheet of a water landscape. They will learn perspective while having fun. Your inspiring artists can spend hours creating many unique drawings with this fun activity. Use it for the summer season or anytime throughout the year. This is a no-prep and interactive drawing game that is simple to use and will result in one of a kind drawings. Just grab a dice, blank paper, pencil and coloring tools and simply engage your students with this self-directed drawing activity. You can get the whole class involved by following the Change It Up worksheet and dictating elements that students can add to their drawing. Then color!
