Daily prompts mean lots of options for creativity.

More than 250 pages with different ideas let kids use their imaginations. Examples include drawing Rorschach ink blots, creating a scene based on a single object, and making use of interesting objects like stencils, cotton balls, and more. With one to two tasks per page, kids end up with a kaleidoscope of their work over the course of a year, making the end result a fun keepsake. 

My daughter received this exact book as a gift for her birthday, and loved it. The compact size comes packed with big ideas perfect for keeping kids occupied on long summer days at home. They can easily take it with them on outings or traveling, or use it anytime for some quiet screen-free downtime.

Prompts draw inspiration from a variety of subject matter and encourage a wide use of art supplies.

As an added bonus, it keeps kids drawing and writing over the summer, so their skills stay sharp. Pair it with some art supplies to make a great gift any time of the year. The prompts don’t depend on a specific day or season, and inspired kids can easily complete more than one at a time.
