"I think better when I'm drawing."
--Tim Burton, movie director

There's a whole lot of brainwork going on while a child intently draws a picture. The fact is, young children love to draw; they need to draw. Children intuitively use drawing to understand the world and to develop important brain functions. Drawing is a way to think and to communicate.

Students can use drawing to express ideas, record observations, organize and present information, and solve problems. As a learning tool, drawing stands on its own as a viable curriculum subject. But when it is combined with writing we have a powerful new literacy. And when drawing skills are transferred to math, science, history, geography, and art our children become powerful, well-rounded thinkers.

Unfortunately, the integration of solid drawing skills as a part of today's elementary curriculum is virtually nonexistent. DoodleZine is dedicated to creating drawing lessons that are challenging, useful, and FUN. The pages of DoodleZine are designed to rekindle and ignite the student's natural impulse to draw, and to use drawing as a visual language.

We take pride in providing fun stuff for kids to draw. We also value input from parents and teachers. Please let us know how we can fit into your lesson plans at school and study routine at home, or what kind of stuff your kids like to draw. Maybe you would just like to say "Hi!" or send a drawing. We'd love to hear from you!

Thank you, and keep those little hands drawing!
