Draw a place you visited in a dream

What can we use if we don't have crayons or a pencil?

If you don't have crayons, swap in colored pencils, markers, or watercolors and if you don't have a pencil use a ballpoint pen, charcoal, or a light marker to lightly sketch the big shapes before coloring.

What if I can't picture the dream or I keep coloring outside the shapes?

If you can't picture the dream during the one-minute eyes-closed step, try focusing on one strong image or humming to relax, and to avoid coloring outside shapes make light pencil sketches, color carefully along edges with the crayon tip, and erase extra pencil lines afterward to tidy up.

How can we change the activity for different ages?

For preschoolers, have an adult draw the big shapes and let the child color and dictate the three sentences, for elementary kids follow all steps with simpler details, and for older kids add textures, perspective, and longer descriptive sentences before sharing on DIY.org.

How can we make the dream drawing more special or challenging?

To enhance the drawing, add collage bits, stickers, or textured materials when adding details in step 7, experiment with shading or mixed media while coloring, and turn your three sentences into a short story to post on DIY.org.
