Ages: 2 years to ?? I do this with my friends sometimes.
Supplies:
Paper
Marker/ crayon/ colored pencil (you choose)
Benefits: Imaginative play
A man with 3 eyes. I was black pen. He was green crayon. (Age 3)
Activity:
The child draws or scribbles a picture.
You ask them what it is.
Then, with their permission, you draw on top of it to bring out the details they describe.
**Make sure that the child agrees to coloring together so you don't make them feel like what they drew doesn't look like what they say it is.
With older kids (ages 4+), we take turns scribbling with no intention what it is and then sit back and look at the scribble and see what stands out to us, the same way you gaze at clouds. We also take turns drawing the details we describe.
