They are waiting for your lead!
What if I told you your teen or tween is still craving that kitchen table doodle time but they just don’t know it or know how to access it.
That’s where YOU come in. Mom, dad, grandma, caretaker, caring adult—you can show them that even if no one ever picks up a pencil or crayon anymore there is a way to find fun and calm in doodling together.
We are ready for the Challenge!
If you are looking for a way to connect with your tween or teen then this challenge is for you!
Do you have a voice inside you that says, "My teen is stressed out but I am not sure what to do." Or, "I am not sure how to reach my tween anymore and I just want us to have some fun"
In this creativity challenge you will learn simple ways to use drawing and creativity to have fun with your tween or teen. Learn silly, creative ways to connect using paper and pencil even if you don't feel artsy or creative.
We are ready to SCRIBBLE!
Register If:
- You feel like connecting with your kid(s) in new ways.
- You want new strategies to help your tween or teen de-stress and find calm.
- You need some "family time" to engage with each other in a different way.
- You are looking for new ways to energize and challenge your kids whole brain!
Show your KIDS how to Let Go!
What if you and your teen said, "YES" to creativity? What if you all let go of the fear? We all have innate creative potential. Imagine a life of fearless creativity
• not judging what you create,
• not worrying about drawing something “perfectly.”
• Saying yes to messiness and mistakes.
Imagine living in a state of wonder and realizing that creativity is born from a place of being open and unafraid. That the creative process can bring calm and connection into our lives.
We are ready!

And the work they created.
"Loving the drawing lessons - as a K-8 art teacher teacher and teaching from home with a 3 year old, your online content has helped me re-center my creative self when my brain feels fried and has also helped me to adjust my own curricula into the online world. "

When we draw as children, we never worry about making mistakes—we take risks and trust ourselves, and have fun in the process. But as we become adults, anxiety steps in: “Am I doing this right?” “What is expected of me?” “This is wrong!” And from drawing, we can extrapolate into the rest of our lives. The fear of making a mistake hinders us from being as creative as we could be.
