Parent and child both draw or paint on the same paper, taking turns adding to the work. Agent coaches the parent to follow the child's marks, add without overtaking, and celebrate the combined piece. Observations track collaborative mark-making and tolerance for imperfection.

Free to do together whenever you like.
