Welcome to day 2 of the Family Lockdown Fun challenge!
One easy and fun family activity
Today’s idea: Collaborative drawing
Get creative and make a collaborative drawing
This activity will help you both connect with your kids and encourage creativity.
Here are two ways to do this activity:
- Use a big piece of paper (or several pieces taped together) and invite the whole family to participate in a collaborative drawing. You can either pick a theme at the beginning or let a theme unfold while you draw.
- Make a back-and-forth drawing: One family member starts the drawing by adding a few elements on the paper, then passes it to the next family member who adds their own elements. Then everybody takes turns adding elements back and forth.
If you need inspiration for picking a theme for you collaborative drawing, here are some ideas: a family portrait, your dream vacation, a big colorful house with many rooms.
