Draw and Discover cover

Developed by an experienced Art Therapist, this journal uses art-making and drawing as a vehicle for children to learn about themselves and how they fit into the world.

“This is an indispensable resource to connect with children and help them share their inner world." —Dr. Steven Baron, author of Teaching With A Strength-Based Approach: How To Motivate Students And Build Relationships

Making art is not only enjoyable for children but significant in their emotional, cognitive, and social development. Draw and Discover: An Art-Making Journal for Kids contains carefully created prompts to help children become aware of their feelings, name them, express them and pay attention to the physical sensations that accompany them.

This engaging and playful journal features:
• 60 unique activities and design elements that unleash your child's creativity and self-expression.
• Prompts developed by a seasoned art therapist for maximum social & emotional learning through the joy of art-making.
• Family-centric guides for kids and adults to share an enriching, art-making experience.

Structured enough to give children guidance and open-ended enough to give them freedom to explore and discover what emerges, the journal is perfect for children who like to draw as well as those children who prefer not to write.
