Want a cool way to turn screen time into a hands-on creative session?
Following a drawing tutorial (whether on YouTube, from an app, or a drawing book) is a playful way to build focus, develop fine motor skills, and encourage persistence.
It’s also a mindful, calming way to unwind, and is perfect for grownups who want to swap the scroll and learn to draw something new too.
A great place to start is - a popular step-by-step drawing channel for kids, run by a dad and his kids!
Or something to help you wind down: - a relaxing, meditative drawing method using structured patterns. No experience needed - just focus, breathe, and create.
Search for a simple, level-friendly drawing tutorial online or select a page from a drawing book.
Set up the device or book for easy viewing.
Follow along with the tutorial, pausing when needed.
Celebrate your drawing!
Colour it in, try another tutorial or freestyle a new version.
Themed drawing days: Try animals, food, dinosaurs, or favourite characters.
Tell a story: Turn the drawing into a character in an imaginative story.
Make a gallery or album: Display finished drawings at home or add it to a family collection.
