Unleash your child’s imagination with these Think, Draw & Write Prompts! Each page presents a playful “what if?” scenario that inspires kids to dream, invent, and explore their creativity through writing and storytelling.
Materials Needed:
🖨️ Printed Think, Draw & Write pages (extra lined pages included, if needed)
✏️ Pencil or pen for writing
🖍️ Crayons, markers, or colored pencils for illustrations
⏱️ Time Needed: About 10–20 minutes per prompt (depending on your child’s writing pace)
👩👧 Best As: A do-together activity for early writers (ages 5–6) who benefit from brainstorming and modeling, with growing independence as they gain confidence expressing ideas.
How to Use:
- Print the Think, Draw & Write pages and choose a prompt that sparks curiosity.
- Read the prompt aloud and talk together about what could happen. Example: “You shrink to the size of a bug! What would you see?”
- Encourage your child to draw their story idea in the illustration space first.
- Support early writing by helping sound out words and referencing an alphabet chart when needed.
- Ask open-ended questions like, “What happens next?” or “How does your story end?”
- Share and celebrate your child’s story by reading it together!
Build creativity, language skills, and storytelling confidence—one imaginative story (and picture!) at a time!
Why Creative Writing Matters for Growing Minds
Storytelling through words and pictures builds creativity, language, and confidence. For young writers, drawing is a bridge to writing—it helps them organize ideas and express meaning before they can spell every word. Thinking through imaginative “what if?” scenarios strengthens vocabulary, sequencing, and emotional understanding.
✨ Want to make it even more meaningful? Turn the prompts into a mini storybook! Staple a few pages together, add covers, and help your child title their collection. Revisit the stories later to see how their writing and drawings grow over time.
