Ashleigh from Ashleigh's Education Journey wrote a great post about
how she organises her early finishers activities. These are focused on critical and creative thinking.
I particularly like her creative drawing task cards. The child is given a squiggle to begin and has to create a meaningful picture with that as a starting point. She has also shared some examples of how the children have used it.
Visit her blog post and scroll to the end to download those creative drawing task cards for free.
Some other great creative drawing resources are:
The Anti-Coloring Book by Susan Striker
This is a series of books for children and adults in which you are given a part of a picture and some instructions. As the instructions require reading, this is more suited to older children. You can
download some sample pages from this book for free on her site.
Do you Doodle? by Nikalas Catlow
This is along the same lines as The Anti-Coloring Book series. You are presented with the start of a picture and some written instructions to help you to complete it.
