Things to Do While You’re Waiting: Art Is All Around

Keep children engaged when you have to wait

• Notice All the Art Around You
  Take a closer look at murals, billboards, and framed prints. Ask your child: “What’s going on in that picture?” Talk about the lines, colors, and shapes you and your child notice.
• Keep art handy
  Take paper, crayons, and pencils with you. A hard drawing pad helps.
• Draw with your child
  Draw what your see or remember. Talk about your finished artwork.
