Why try a 30-day drawing challenge?
Every drawing starts with simple shapes, and this challenge makes that the whole game. Early prompts practice one shape at a time; later ones combine them into friendly pictures, so toddlers and brand-new artists build confidence a day at a time. All generic subjects — kids add their own details.
