“What if” your fingers could become something else anytime you wanted them to…but then after you use it, it looks like a finger again?!!
Here’s a fun activity you might want to try…or let your students or kids try….

Even if you don’t actually draw anything, it’s still fun to think about what 5 things you would choose for yourself.
It would be a fun verbal activity around the dinner table with your family as well. You might be surprised what “you” come up with for yourself…
and surprised what others around you come up with.
This activity helps you see what things you use the most in your lifestyle or what things you wish you had.
If you are someone who looses the key to your house often, you might want to make that one your finger choices…..just saying.
Have fun!

Here are some fun little pictures that you may enjoy drawing. Get a piece of paper and a pencil…then choose one of the things below and see if you
can sketch it on your paper. Then try another…as many as you want. You can also take two or three of the things you draw and draw what is around them…a city? The beach? The country
with a barn in the distance and cows? The park? Whatever your imagination sees! Enjoy! You are very creative!

Here’s a quick simple way to draw the Statue of Liberty. The goal? If someone looks at your drawing and says, “Hey…the Statue of Liberty!”, then you have succeeded. Often we tell ourself that we can’t draw if our drawing is not “perfect” and exactly like what we are trying to draw. Drawing in a simple way can be for “recognition”. That is the simplest form of communication. Like fun drawing game, Pictionary. Then after you have drawn it in a simple way if you want to make it look more and more like the object you’re drawing, then keep adding to it with detail. For now, this little 6 step drawing is to put you in the ballpark and enjoy being able to get there. Have fun! Leave me comments if you like….so that I can learn from YOU! Make a xerox of this and have others try it that you know.
