Freestyle Doodling - Art Therapy

The kids and I need ways to help release our stress every day, so we have found that doing a little something creative each day really makes a difference!  Today is was all about doodles.

Here is the video of the kids and I making our doodles.

Doing doodles or little bits of art is much easier if you have a small space to work in.  So we took a sheet of paper and folded into quarters to make 4 panels.  Each panel we did a different doodle.  Since the space was nice and small we could be creative with the space we had and then make go on and crate something different in the next panel.  

 I love how creative each of the kids were in their doodles.  They had so much fun we even flipped it out and did the other side!  We used the Tombow brush pens in a variety of colors.  They are water based and blend nicely, plus have the dual tip pens really helped so now we had two different sized nibs to art with.  One side is a brush and the other a detail point.  To keep the markers easy for all of use to use (so did we did not have a marker hog), and so they did not roll away, we stored the pens my Deflecto marker storage.  It holds 20 pens and made it really easy to see the colors sticking out from the top.

We switched between laying the storage container on its side or having it upright, really it worked both ways!!  I have used this marker storage a couple of times with my kids and it makes things so easy to help them share, no more hogging the markers on their side of the table, lol.

So what fun doodles do you like to do?
