Let’s Draw a Stickman

Monday, January 9th, 2012

When noodling the web we came across this awesome website Draw a Stickman.

It’s one of the first things kids learn to draw and adults continue to do so through the rest of their lives.

 

Here you can be simple or as elaborate as you would like. It will come to life and go on an adventure. When your stick man comes upon an obstacle, you are encouraged to draw other objects to help get your character out of trouble.

You can download the free Stickman app here. We have also discouvered the AppCrayon really helps those little hands!

Have fun!  Please send us a screen capture of your drawings so we can post them.  Better yet.  If you send us a drawing that involves dandelion we will send you a special discount code. Attack of the dandelions?

Happy drawing! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
