Drawing with Children

My older son received a gift certificate for Christmas from his Great Aunt and Uncle. He used it to buy a drawing set which came with a sketch pad, graphite pencils, colored pencils, a sharpener and an eraser. He opened up the package yesterday night and I swear there are already hardly any blank pages left.

I’ve always loved to draw myself, but haven’t made the time to do it in quite a while. Him choosing his kit motivated me to find my sketch pad and pencil set too though. We had a lot of fun drawing together. My younger son has a favorite truck book so one of the things I drew was the dump truck from the cover. He loved that.

Do you draw with your children? If so, what are your favorite things to draw together?
