d More Creative Time – Six Tips From a Mother of Four – Creative Mom

Close-up photograph of a child’s hands creating a colorful drawing on a white sheet of paper placed on a dark tabletop. One hand holds a dark green oil pastel above the paper while the other hand rests flat near the drawing. The artwork includes a large brown owl-like figure with pointed ear shapes, visible blue and yellow facial details, and heavily layered brown coloring, along with a brown tree branch or trunk extending diagonally across the upper portion of the paper and several green leaves. A large white plastic tray of Pentel Oil Pastels fills most of the foreground. The pastel sticks are arranged in rows and include many shades of brown, green, turquoise, blue, navy, gray, white, yellow, orange, peach, pink, red, purple, and burgundy. Many wrappers visibly read “Pentel Oil Pastels.” Small crumbs and marks from the pastels are visible inside the tray.
