Print and draw prompts work best for children that have reached the symbolism or schematic drawing stage (usually around age 5 or 6).

For younger children I recommend looking at the resources together and talking about the creative prompts but use a blank sheet of paper for your child’s drawing.

Let your child explore their creativity with the prompt. It is okay if your child’s solution seems silly or unrealistic.

The emphasis is on the process of creating rather than the final product.
