Book Review – My Holiday Drawing Book

by

Suitable for children ages 6-8 This book is the perfect companion to a travel busy bag for your kids.  This book is aimed at kids on holiday and is filled with drawing activities and prompts to keep them occupied. I wish I had this on our last trip, but we did do some drawing of places in a blank book which is fun to look back on now we are home.

Pencils and colouring pens at the ready! In this fun and interactive book, kids can learn to sketch, illustrate and colour in. With sections on how to draw people and understanding perspective, plus step-by-step instructions and imaginative prompts and ideas, it’ll inspire any child to get creative on their next trip.

My Holiday Drawing Book makes a great companion on any getaway. Designed to be carried and used almost anywhere, it’ll keep kids entertained whether they’re waiting at the airport, having a picnic in the park or playing on the beach.

Snow Globe Crafts for Kids

Whether you have snow where you live or are on the wrong side of the world for that, these snow glob crafts for kids are a lot of fun to put together at home or in the classroom.

If you want to keep it super basic, you can download some snow globe coloring pages from Monday Mandala and have kids drawn in their own images (or color in what is there for the ones that are already filled). This could be a fun way to play with different media, having kids paint in one, draw in another, or use crayons in one, colored pencils in another, etc.

Or you can add your kid (or a classroom full of kids) to snowglobes with this craft from Twitchetts. It’s easy to make and fun for kids to help with, too.

You can also make snow globes with paper plates pretty easily, and there are lots of different options out there that should give you some ideas. This one from In the Playroom uses blue glittery pompoms as the snow and has a snowman in the background (though you can use whatever you want).

Mas and Pas uses a clear plate on top of a regular plate to make its snow globe, and Daydream into Reality just uses a paper plate to make the snow globe shape but there’s no snow involved. Their template includes different images you can put in the snow globe, or draw your own.

If you want to make a snow globe without the watery (so potentially less mess) you can make a waterless snow globe out of a plastic cup with this tutorial from The Pragmatic Parent. It uses tiny foam balls as the snow. Tidy Mom’s version uses a real glass jar and fake snow to flurry around.

And if you’re OK with using liquids in your snow globe, which will allow the snow to flutter like in a real snow globe, check out this version from 123 Homeschool 4 Me, which uses water and baby oil.
