DOODLE ART
Paper and drawing materials (markers, pencil crayons, crayons) are all you need for this activity where kids simply draw some lines with a marker on paper and then fill in the blank spaces with colours.
Because it is doodeling and not precise shapes this activity can also intrigue younger children. It is a way to focus on not colouring over the lines and it is quite relaxing as well.
ROCK MONSTERS
To make rock monsters you will need rocks, googly eyes, paint, and glue. If the thought of paint makes you nervous, stick to markers instead.
You can also provide your kids with some bits of yarn and other crafty items to glue on their rocks.
