Why try a 30-day drawing challenge?
The ocean is full of shapes kids love to draw — wavy seaweed, round bubbles, patterned shells, and fish of every color. Every prompt is a generic sea subject with plenty of room for a child’s own spots, stripes, and ideas. Tick off a splash a day and build a whole underwater world.
