Cool Stuff: Doodles and Scribbles
My super secret restaurant tools. This is my gift to you.
This “Doodles” book is awesome. I bought it and it’s sister “Scribbles” because my kids are always “what should I draw now, mom?” This isn’t your ordinary coloring book, it really inspires their creativity and gives them idea seeds to start with.
Each page gives some starter art and directions. For example, a teeter-totter is pre-drawn with the directions to draw something heavy on each side OR pictures of two grown ups with the suggestion to create children to go with the adults. It just gives them a little artistic push and then they can run with it.
**Funny note about my kids…this page says “Whoever says the saddest thing wins”. Nathaniel’s quote for the girl is “I’m a loser”…quote for boy is “I am an idiot and my only friend is a rock”.
These books stay in my car for drives, dining out, or any times they need to have something occupy their hands and minds….which is ALWAYS! They are captivating and there are age appropriate pictures throughout…from my 4 y.o. to my 10 y.o.
Doodles and Scribbles include over 300 pages of drawing space. They are HUGE! We’ve had ours for about 5 months and are still working on it. I bought mine at Barnes and Noble, but they are available at Borders and Amazon.com (a little cheaper here) too.
GO! Create! Keep their minds buzzing and their hands busy.
