Let's make a scribble picture!
Scribble pictures occupied many an hour for me when I was a kid. After I finished what was in my lunchbox, there was still some time to fill before returning to my classroom. What to do? Simple Scribble Art for Kids!
Well, we didn’t call it that back then, but I was priming the pump for this post all those years ago.
Swirling loop "d" loops
A friend and I would each create a swirling pencil drawn scribble picture. The loops filled the page and crossed over and over one another forming lots of little windows to fill with color. Then we would swap pictures.
The big challenge was to use each of the 48 colored Crayons
in my box over and over again without letting the same color ever touch. I must confess that I was always jealous of the kids that had the 64 Crayonsbox with a built in sharpener!
Fast and easy fun
The beauty of a scribble picture is that it can be drawn in a few seconds but take a long time to color. Oh, and it only takes a pencil, Paper and something with which to color (Crayons, Colored Pencils or Colored Markers). Simple and fun, that’s for sure.
So, grab one of your little artists, draw a page of swirling loops and swirls. They can be as simple or complex as you would like to make them. This makes it a great activity for young and old alike.
Here is the very best thing about Simple Scribble Art for Kids, you can sit by your little artist and color and visit for a long time. Yep, it doesn’t get any better than that.
So many beautiful colors
Color in each space with your various colors. Enjoy the pattern that emerges, like a contemporary stained glass window. It is kind of therapeutic. In fact, if the kids can’t be with you, you can still create your own scribble picture and color it in. Who needs to buy a coloring book to relax?
Simple Scribble Art for Kids finishing touches
If you want to, when the coloring is finished there are a couple things that can be done to really set it off. First, draw over the pencil lines with black. Secondly, cut it out around the outside edge and glue it down to a black piece of construction paper. The picture will just “pop” as the colors look so vibrant against the black. These things are optional, but make the scribble picture really look nice.
Perfect time filler anytime, anywhere
Well folks, that’s all there is to it. Easy-peasy. Pull this idea out whenever you have some time to fill. The kids will love it...YOU will love it.
I would love to see some of your Simple Scribble Art for Kids! I’m sure they will be masterpieces.
