Imagination Draw Along: a low stimulation drawing show for kids

Today I want to draw a helpful robot. Some parts of him light up, some stretch. He really wants to help! But what's the best way for a robot to be helpful? And how can we keep the robot dry so he doesn't get sparky? Here are 3 things your imagination can wonder about: Why can’t robots get wet? If you had a robot, what would you want it to help you with? How can you make sure you’re using technolog...

Today I want to draw a pirate ship! We'll draw the ship, the sails, the mast, and a pirate. Maybe the pirate is you! Of course, we'll draw a treasure chest and you get to decide that's inside. Here are 3 things your imagination can wonder about: If you had a pirate ship, where would sail it? What would you want to keep in your treasure chest? Why do pirates like parrots so much?

Today I want to draw dinosaurs. We'll draw a huge brontosaurus with a very long neck and tail, a scary tyrannosaurus rex with sharp teeth, and pterodactyl flying through the air. We'll draw a pond between the carnivore and herbivore so nobody gets eaten for lunch! And I'll add one more sill layer of protection to keep our brontosaurus safe.

Today I want to draw a circus. Maybe the ring master is you! We'll draw an elephant, a lion, and an acrobat flying from one trapeze bar to another. It's up to the artist to add a circus act that I may have forgotten. Here are 3 things you're imagination can wonder about, if you'd like to revisit. If you went to a circus, what would you hope to see? How do those trapeze swingers stay safe up there?...

March goes in like a lion and comes out like a lamb. It's the perfect day to draw a couple of little lambs playing in a field next to a stream. We'll make sure the field is full of glass and flowers so the lambs can eat. These lambs are a bit mischievous, so we'll have to draw some ways to keep track of them.

Today I want to draw an aquarium. We'll draw two types of fish, two clean up critters--a shrimp and a snail, and most importantly a critter that YOU get to make up. Here are 3 things we'll wonder about if you'd like to revisit the topics: Why do you think underwater critters so colorful? Fish like to hide sometimes and people like to hide sometimes. Why? If you wanted to make up something to draw,...

Today I want to draw a visit to the dentist. We'll draw ourselves in the dentist chair, and the dentist too. We will draw many of the tools the dentist uses and I'll tell you a little bit about what they do. Some people love the dentist, but I am someone who gets nervous there. So! I'll also share my tips on how to stay brave and overcome dentist anxiety. Oh, did I mention that you have to look a...

Today we'll draw a hot air balloon in the sky. Hot air balloons traditionally have a lot of colors or wild patterns. Who will be in the basket? You! And someone to help you navigate. We'll also draw someone on the ground waving up at you.

Today I want to draw a spring garden-- it's finally spring, after all! Today's drawing will start with 2 flowers and then you can add more of course. We'll plant some tomatoes on a vine. And we'll draw a butterfly, a buzzing bee, and a worm. Happy spring!

Today I want to draw two floating magical fairies with magic wands and flowery dresses. They will have very cool wings like butterflies and dragonflies. Have you ever summoned a fairy? Let's bring them to your paper!

Let's draw a scene celebrating Saint Patrick's Day! I'll tell you about the legends of Saint Patrick's Day, and even debunk some old legends. We'll draw a rainbow, a pot of gold, Saint Patrick himself, a sheep, and some shamrocks. Which parts of the picture do you think are from Saint Patrick? Which aren't, but are still from Ireland?

Today we are celebrating circles on Pi Day (3.14) by drawing a wacky, silly pizza. Maybe we'll have some normal toppings like cheese and pepperoni, but our imaginations are going to add the silliest toppings we can think of!

Today we'll draw two big happy pigs, rolling in the mud on a farm. It's silly to draw pigs playing in mud so we'll practice keeping our attitudes light and learn that it's okay to laugh at ourselves as we learn.

Today we'll draw Dr. Jane Goodall and a couple of the chimpanzees she studied. This week we celebrate National Woman's Day, so we'll celebrate a beloved woman scientist and her primates she studied so closely.

Today we'll draw a castle, made of brick with a draw bridge and a moat to protect the king and queen. What's the story your imagination wants to tell about the castle?

Let's draw the planet Mars and the rovers Curiosity and Perseverance. We'll add the terrain of Mars, including a volcano and a cater. We'll spend a lot of time using our imaginations on robots--Mars rovers!

They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Let's draw a papa lion, a mama lion, and a lion cub on a rainy day, taking shelter in their den. What's the lion cub up to? That's your artist choice!

Today we'll draw a fire-fighter standing in his or her protective gear, next to a fire hydrant and spraying water. We'll talk about how fire-fighters are here to help, and imagine how you can be prepared in an emergency.

Today I want to draw arctic animals on the ice and in the water. We'll draw beluga whales in the sea, ice seals on ice, and a mama polar bear with her cub.

The Olympics just ended and the Paralympics are about to begin. Let's draw a Paralympian on her snowboard doing a cool trick. We'll also represent our country with a flag and a gold medal. This episode celebrates our differences and the amazing things that can happen when we practice and remain dedicated to our craft.

Today I want to draw a flying car! Since flying cars aren't real, we get to use extra imagination. While we draw, I'll tell you about the invention of the first airplane and the invention of the first car. When our flying car is in the sky, we'll draw someone we love waving up at us.

Today I want to draw a fire horse for Lunar New Year. This will drawing will show lots Chinese traditions celebrating Lunar New Year. We'll draw our horse next to a cozy fire, red banners for good luck, and fire works to ward off bad luck. There are so many traditions within this tradition that there was no way to cover them all! How do you celebrate Lunar New Year?

Today I want to draw pictures of the technology that US presidents have used to communicate. We'll draw a timeline with a newspaper, a radio, a television, a computer, and a smart phone. I'll share which presidents favored each piece of technology throughout history. When we draw the TV, we'll draw YOU on TV as president!

Today we'll draw a picture of you with someone who cares about you. We'll add details that show how you know when someone cares about you, like their smile and the activities you do together. Happy Valentine's Day!
