Daily Idea #175: Draw What You See

Today we are taking a quiet morning to be creative. I want to see what my children see, so I am giving them paper and pencil and I am asking them to draw what they see. You can have them do this from their bed, at the table, outside, wherever they want to sit and look around and just take in their surroundings. Once their drawings are finished, have them tell you about what they saw and any thoughts they had that they want to share.

My only rule for this is that they must do this activity for 20 minutes. They don’t need to draw for the whole time, but they do need to sit and try.
