One sweltering summer afternoon, I woke up and cycled to the nearby bookstore to buy some necessary supplies. First, I needed a large box of colored pencils to make my child’s drawing more varied, and a few sticker packs for today’s activity. I also bought some other interesting items: origami paper, cute sticky notes, and shirt buttons. I think these items will be part of my future ideas.
Today’s activity idea is “Creative Drawing.” This is one of the easiest activities, as it only requires a sheet of drawing paper, colored pencils, and stickers. My daughter can freely decorate the picture however they like. Coloring, doodling, or covering it completely with stickers are all fine. This creates a vibrant and colorful picture. Although it’s a simple activity, it will help your child develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity, and allow them unlimited freedom to explore.
I really like these kinds of activities because they don’t require elaborate preparation, and my child enjoys them immensely! If parents are wondering how to keep their children away from TV and phones, try participating in this simple activity with them!
