Drawing can help children explore something they notice, remember or imagine. These invitations offer starting points for their own ideas. A drawing may develop through marks, shapes, colour, words or conversation, and its meaning may change as the child works.

Offer a possibility

Choose a card when it connects with a child’s interest. Offer familiar drawing materials and open paper. Children can use the idea, adapt it, return to it later or continue in another way. Looking, remembering and imagining can overlap; the cards do not form a sequence.
