Joyful Learning Through Math, Art & Play!

Hello from My Desk: Start a Fun Month of Playful Daily Doodles

I’m popping in from my desk today to say happy May! I’ve just started a fresh month of daily doodles, and I wanted to share a little peek with you.

This month, I’m keeping it simple and playful: I’ve set up a doodle page with one tiny box for each day of May. Each day, I’ll fill a little box with a quick doodle inspired by a fun prompt — just a few words to spark ideas and warm up my creative brain.

I pulled together lots of playful words, actions, and descriptions of things children love to play with and do — not only for my doodles, but also to feed into my creative work at From the Pond. It’s already feeling like such a fun, joyful month!

 Today’s prompt is “Huggable.”

If you’re here reading, why not grab a pen and doodle along with me? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • What comes to mind when you hear huggable?
  • For me, it was instantly teddy bear (of course!).
If drawing a full teddy or scene feels too much, just start with some soft, round shapes — like a simple head and ears, or even a cozy swirl.

Not a hug fan? Flip it — doodle something unhuggable!

And while we’re talking bears, here’s a fun art activity you might enjoy with your students or kids: Torn Paper Collage Bears
