Big, happy scribbles

Gather a few things

Large paper and intact, age-rated, nontoxic chunky crayons.

Let’s play

1. Lay the paper on a stable surface.
2. Make a simple mark and offer a crayon.
3. Describe the movement rather than naming a finished picture.
4. Ask where your toddler would like to display it.

Make it work for your child

Offer just two colors. Your toddler can draw seated or standing at a stable surface.
