COMFY QUILT
THINK
Can you make a list of all your favorite things? What are the things that you find comfort in having? Your favorite stuffed animal, a rainbow, your family, a frosted donut, doing ART? If you could surround yourself with 9 of your favorite things what would they be? What will each square be filled with? Once you have 9 or your favorite ideas you are ready to create your own "Comfy Quilt."
PLAN
If you can, please print out the "Comfy Quilt" template provided OR create your own page. I drew mine right on a piece of copy paper and created 9 boxes, 3 rows across and 3 rows down, connecting to each other.
CREATE
Start drawing! Look at the pictures I used for inspiration. I don't expect you to know how to draw all your favorite things so maybe you can find some inspiration on pictures provided. Now, you can choose to color your "Comfy Quilt" or leave it just black and white! Whatever makes you comfortable!
