Magination Press Learning at Home: Writing and Doodling Activities for Kids

The life changes and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have people all over the world feeling a mix of emotions. Children are working through a lot of feelings as they navigate distance learning, being separated from their friends (and possibly family members), cancellation of their extracurricular activities, and being stuck at home. Parents have a lot to cope with too, especially managing their children’s learning in this unprecedented situation.

Writing and doodling can help kids (and adults) explore their feelings and creativity. Two books from Magination Press can help kids develop these forms of expression. How Do You Doodle?: Drawing My Feelings and Emotions by Elise Gravel and Neon Words: 10 Brilliant Ways to Light Up Your Writing by Marge Pellegrino and Kay Sather provide drawing games to explore feelings, writing prompts, and book-making activities. Here are some pages from How Do You Doodle? and two chapters from Neon Words for your kids to try!
