LUNCH DOODLES with Mo Willems!
March 30, 2020

We are living very isolated lives right now, and yet thanks to modern technology we can still stay relatively connected. I am blown away by all the amazing content that is coming up online to help people cope. One of My family’s favorite online sources of joy is Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems! Both Blithe (my 7-year-old) and I love to draw so this is fun and therapeutic for us both. Everyday after we put Cadence (my 2-year-old) down for her nap, we get our paper, pencils, and crayons and learn from Mo Willems.

During Lunch Doodles, Mo shows you around his studio, talks about his creative process, teaches you how to draw and doodle, and encourages you to develop your own ideas. He even references feelings kids might be experiencing right now in a very gentle, kid friendly way. I highly recommend this amazing and completely free program. Look at all the things Blithe and I learned from Mo last week!

Blithe and I think it’s fun to compare our drawings. Even when we are following the same directions you can see our individual style.
