October is the perfect month to inspire your kids’ creativity with themed daily drawings. Whether it’s doodling fall icons or spooky Halloween scenes, or we’ve got you covered with a delightful list of 31 days of drawing prompts for Kindergarten. From whimsical pumpkins to eerie haunted houses, these prompts will ignite your child’s imagination. Get ready for a month-long art journey filled with all things fall and spooky!
What are drawing prompts for kids?
Drawing prompts are creative suggestions that are designed to spark a child’s imagination and / or help them get through a creative block. They come in different forms, such as a word or phrase, or they can be an unfinished drawing that the child can complete. The prompts below are open ended, so your child can envision each scene and just roll with whatever comes to mind.
