Pick and Draw, a fun & quick activity for kids
My boys love to draw, especially if it is doodling or drawing characters they admire from shows. Some are easier than others to draw, but they are always having fun with it.
Pick and Draw is a new product in our house that is now providing fun for them as well.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary deck of cards. Yet, within the deck are enough choices to create 60,000 different combinations.
The ‘game’ is simple.
Lay out each of the facial parts in their own small deck, making sure to shuffle the cards of each deck.
- Pick a facial shape and draw it.
- Pick the nose shape and draw it.
- Pick the eyes and draw it.
- Pick the mouth and draw it.
- Then, pick the hair and draw it.
- Instructions for simple C-shaped ears are included in the deck.
P has used the deck the most so far, although the other boys have dabbled with it when he wasn’t looking.

Pick and Draw retails $12.95 for one deck.
Considering how many hours of enjoyment you can get out of it, I would see it as a good investment.
It’s portable and I think the next time we have to sit in a waiting room this might be the ‘ticket’ to occupy my boys. All I need to add is some paper and pencils and they’d be good to go.
Going alongside the card set, you can pick up a copy of The Big Book of Pick and Draw Activities. Inside the book are fun, ready-to-use educational activities using the Pick and Draw cards.


I can easily see how this would be fun and foster creativity in children and help kids who think they don’t know how to draw. It looks like it would be a good activity for a variety of ages and isn’t a game that one would get bored of easily since there are so many different combinations. I agree that it would be a great “waiting” activity (in a waiting room, waiting for an appointment, waiting for food at a restaurant, etc.).
This really looks like fun!
I like your suggestion to take it to the Dr. office etc. great way to entertain slightly older kids!
This sounds interesting and fun!
This looks so fun! I love that there are so many different combinations. A great way to teach drawing and keep kids occupied. Thanks for sharing!
