Drawing prompts are one of our favorite creative drawing ideas for kids. These inspire kids to draw and think in a whole new way.
Updated May 2022
Drawing prompts can be anything from “decorate your own _____ ” or “fill in the ______”, to tangle art, abstract art, or more! They help give kids that little bit of inspiration to get their creativity flowing. They’re a perfect activity to offer your kids at home, while traveling, or to occupy time at restaurants or waiting rooms.
And the best part is that no two drawings will ever be the same, even if an entire group of children was given the same drawing prompt! Because each child works from their own imagination, interests, mindset, developmental stage, and more.
