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.
