When my girls were young, there were times I felt like a human coloring book. All three of them enjoyed a healthy balance of art, athletics and creative play. Their creative play days consisted of lots of dress up, imagining and drawing. A favorite coloring and drawing subject were princesses, which often led to me providing the drawings they wanted to color.
Like most young girls, they could imagine the perfect dress, fancy hairdos and flashy jewelry – but when it came time to draw, they were intimidated by drawing faces and figures. That’s when I came to the rescue and provided help with their drawings and special requests.
It’s time to draw castles, crowns, princesses and sparkly jewels. We’ve bundled lots of new How to Draw videos into our latest eBook, Princesses & Enchanted Treasures!
We recently surveyed some of our young artists; the girls were most interested in princesses and fancy dresses. My favorite request was from 5 year old Delany who wanted to draw “princesses, dresses, dogs, castles, girls and babies”. There are no dogs or babies in this book of drawing videos, but there are plenty of princesses, tiaras, jewelry and even a castle.
Our new How to Draw videos are here, all rolled into one great eBook for your kids!

April is a great month to welcome Spring and enjoy the beautiful weather with outdoor activities! Enjoy these 10 activities I found that are fun for the whole family:
How can you have a sunny day at the beach, while confined to the Chicago suburbs over spring break?? If your kids have a spirit of adventure, an active imagination and a few choice props – anything is possible.
One of my favorite ‘staycation’ family memories happened years ago when our girls were in elementary school. It was spring break and we were excited to have a week without homework and time constraints, mom included. And at our house that meant lots more time for playful adventures.
One day, without realizing what I would inspire, I brought home three inexpensive pink and white striped tote bags, one for each daughter. Inside each bag was a pair of summer flip-flops. As I gave the girls their tote bags, I could see big sister Laurie’s wheels start turning. She quickly swept her younger sisters into her imagination and upstairs to change. Soon they reappeared holding beach towels, wearing swimsuits, sunglasses and their new flip-flops. The dining room chairs were quickly moved away from the table, the towels spread out underneath and a sunny afternoon beach adventure ensued.
How can you encourage creative at home adventures?
I’ve gathered an assortment of fun activities to keep your kids busy. There are activities you can do In the House and activities that are Out of the House. And within each category, there are things kids can do independently and things to do as a family. You could even get a bit of mom time in!
