National Drawing Day! 5/16

May 05, 2023

National Drawing Day is celebrated every year on May 16th!

National Drawing Day is a wonderful opportunity for children to explore their creativity and express themselves through art. It is a day that is dedicated to celebrating the art of drawing and encouraging children of all ages to participate in this fun and rewarding activity.

Explore some fun and vibrant tools to draw with including Kwik Stix, Magic Stix, and Wonder Stix!

Kwik Stix are tempera paint sticks that are mess free! They dry in just 90 seconds and do not require paint brushes or a water cup! Kwik Stix come in classic colors, pastels, metalix, neons, earth tones, and global skin tones!

Magic Stix are vibrant colored, triangular markers that promote grip. Magic Stix are guaranteed to last 7 days without the cap! They will also not roll off the table or desk!

Wonder Stix are washable, odorless, dust free and cap free! They work on wood, cardboard, whiteboards, paper, glass, windows and more.

Here are some fun ways to celebrate!

Draw with friends: Encourage your child to invite their friends over for a drawing party. Provide a variety of art supplies and let them create together.
Draw outdoors: Take advantage of the nice weather and go outside to draw. Set up a picnic blanket and some art supplies in a park or backyard and let your child draw what they see.
Participate in a drawing challenge: Many art organizations and websites offer drawing challenges for children. These challenges usually provide a theme or prompt and encourage children to create a drawing based on that theme.
Share your drawings: Encourage your child to share their drawings with friends and family. Display them on a bulletin board or share them on social media using the hashtag #NationalDrawingDay.
