Draw the missing half of an insect to make the picture complete! These drawing prompts are good for children learning the concept of symmetry and, of course, for all young insect enthusiasts. ALSO TRY: Draw the Missing Half: Flowers, Draw the Missing Half: Vehicles,...
I love kid’s drawings, and I have always found it fascinating to see how crafters and small companies make kid’s drawings into personalized keychains or kid-designed stuffed toys. This year, for Mother’s and Father’s day gifts, we did it too!...
Make Lego Easter eggs to give your hunt a fun brick-tastic twist! Everything is better with LEGO, or so it goes in our family. If you have kids in your house, you probably understand what I mean. Why, my husband has been a lifelong fan! I, regrettably, only had a...
From my own experience, I know that it can sometimes be tricky to start making a drawing. Especially if I don’t have a solid concept – just feel in the mood to create something. That’s when drawing prompts come handy. Not only do they give me an idea...
Make lunch fun – and pretty – by turning a plate into a food art prompt! It was some years ago: my friend and I were sitting in a coffee shop, and while she was still enjoying her dessert, I was already at the point of lamenting the demise of my chocolate...

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience. There is a bit of irony in the fact that while pondering what will make the best gift for our two-year-old son, I decided to work on an article about gift ideas for one-year-olds. It certainly brings...
We like to celebrate the change of seasons. Autumn is so bright, colourful and inspiring when it comes to making art. I collected a few art projects and crafts that we would like to try this fall. There are thirty-one of them, which means that if we do one every day,...

It was a week before Easter, and I made up a small chant, based on one of my son’s favourite books We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, “We’re going on an egg hunt! We’re going to find a lot of eggs…” But is Budster familiar with eggs?...
