642 Awesome Things to Draw

Do you have the thought that you would like to draw something and when you sit down to draw all your ideas float out the window?  Or do you ever have a child come and say “I want to draw something Mom/Dad but I don’t know what to draw!!!!”  642 Awesome Things to Draw, Young Artist’s Edition is the answer to all those wonderings.   It has been my pleasure to review this book. 

642 Awesome things to draw, my review

You might be asking… what can I draw?  

  • a jungle, a beach and a desert coexisting together
  • a tarantula taking over Japan
  • sheep organizing a strike
  • a red, white and blue rollercoaster
  • A car covered in bumper stickers
  • a circus run by mice
  • a jumbo paper clip

So many ideas… it almost makes a body want to try them all.   

642 Awesome things to draw, young artist's edition

Can you imagine the stories you could tell as you each drew your own version of the picture prompt?  Consider the laughter and conversations that could erupt around you.

For we all know what might come out of “a huge pile of trash”… books filled with tails, forgotten drinks bubbling up, making toy fish float as alligators come bumbling out with leftover turkeys riding their backs, as stuff dragons breathe fire  while dancing with hula hoops… what stories could emerge as your budding artists fill the pages, waiting for the next adventure to come their way. 

Each space comes in a variety of formats, whole pages, 1/2 and quarters, sometimes on a diagonal.  Rectangles and squares, with a few triangles thrown into the mix.  No circles to be found in this book.
