That way anyone could pick up something to draw with and just have fun. It was great for modeling drawing for my daughter and sometimes got her away from paying attention to the screen. We also had a game called "partner pictures" where one of us would draw a shape or scribble, then the other would either add something or make an object out of it. The latter is an activity we still do (and she's almost 18). We have a notebook and one of us draws a scribble to challenge the other person to make something out of it. She calls it "Imagine." Those journals are priceless.

I agree! And kids are so creative when we try new things with them.
