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):

1. Outlet for creativity
2. Promotes concentration
3. Helps with anxiety/stress
4. Develop problem solving skills
5. Cultivate ideas

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. 

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!

I am excited to introduce a new drawing product line, Think INSIDE the Box drawing prompts, that is inspired by my popular Think OUTSIDE the Box drawing prompts. I had a lot of fun creating these prompts and I wanted to come up with something that was a little bit easier for those that find the Think Outside the Box prompts difficult. Therefore, this is a slightly different version from the Think Outside the Box prompts and students will be drawing what is suggested in the drawing prompts. Stay tune for more variations to these drawing prompts and have a creative day!
