Why try a 30-day drawing challenge?
A daily challenge takes the pressure off “making a masterpiece” and turns drawing into a game. Each prompt is a simple, generic subject with lots of room for a child’s own ideas, so it works for beginners and confident little artists alike. Cross off each day as you go and watch a month of drawings pile up.
