My Drawing
Parent and child create a drawing together while engaging in conversation about the artwork. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child describes characteristics, answers questions about the drawing, names objects by sound or function, and uses fingers to show age — building language comprehension and creative expression.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent and child sitting together at a table or on the floor with paper and drawing materials. Play-doh optional. Space should be comfortable for conversation and creativity.
