The Boys' Doodle Book: Amazing Pictures to Complete and Create

My 7 year old son got this for Christmas from grandma, and he absolutely loves it! My 10 year old son and husband got hooked too. They have pages with castles, dragons, robots, trucks, animals, etc., so there's plenty of variety. The idea is that they give you the start of a picture -- like tires -- and then you draw a monster truck. It was a great thing to keep the kids occupied in a quiet activity while visiting grandparents and would work well on a long plane ride, too.

My son thought this looked great. Still, I didn't know if it was something he truly would end up working on. We purchased it yesterday. In the car, he asked if we had a pencil. He immediately began finding pages he wanted to fill in. The subjects were perfect for him. It gives the child prompts for subject ideasl. However, because the drawing is partially started, it also gives them stylistic drawing ideas that they might use to help them complete the drawing, thus increasing their awareness of drawing approaches to shape and line and texture. After excitedly completing several drawings he exclaimed, Look! page one is design your own robot! We all laughed as robots are his absolute favorite thing to draw and design. Anyway, he started drawing yesterday and hasn't stopped. He woke up this morning and continued. I think he has a good portion of the book finished. I can't think of any downside of this purchase, worth every cent for us!

My kids enjoy sitting down and finding a page to complete. Super fun and creative!

This is an awesome drawing book for children who have a hard time coming up with ideas on what to draw. My son likes drawing but sometimes get frustrated coming up with ideas on what to draw. Each page of this book provides the beginning of a scenario/concept and allows the child to complete the picture using their imagination. I highly recommend it if your child needs a little inspiration to get them drawing.

My son is five and got this as a Christmas gift. I hid it from him until a long car trip presented itself. This book is filled with great drawing prompts! My son had so much fun and it kept him very occupied. I now have several other ones on his wish list.
