Drawing Together

This month is all about love, so why not bring your family together to draw?  You'd be surprised how much fun it really is.  We play a game called "Draw It" (apparently we aren't very creative when coming up with names for games).

The rules are simple: Someone says a random thing to draw and everyone draws their version of said thing.  If you want to make it more intense you can add a time limit.  When everyone is finished or time is up, compare pictures and let the laughing begin.  If you want to make it a game of Win or Lose, you can vote on the best picture each round and apply a point to that person.  We just play for fun.  It's great for all ages and drawing talent isn't really required.

A fish catching butterflies.


Even after you have finished the game, you will find that your kids still want to draw...so you let them.


This would also make a fun gift to put together. Drawing paper, newly sharpened pencils, rules to the game, and a jar of random drawing ideas to get them started.
