This is a great little activity to fill 10-20 minutes and only requires a pencil, some paper and a bit of baking parchment!
What to do: 1. Find a picture from a children's colouring book as a base picture (or you can draw your own /print one out if you'd like) 2. Cut up a piece of baking parchment to the right size and place over the picture 3. Hold the parchment still as you trace over the picture with a pencil (make sure the point isn't too sharp as the lines won't transfer as well) 4. Flip the parchment over onto a plain piece of paper 5. Draw generously over the lines of the picture (kids will enjoy having a good scribble!) 6. Once the picture lines are completely covered, lift off the parchment and see your traced picture below 7. Grab some colouring pens/pencils and colour in! My eldest found it absolute magic when he saw the lines appearing on the plain paper (I kept giving sneak peeks as we scribbled over the back!) and enjoyed that it was a drawing task we could do together - I found holding the pencil at the same time as him for the initial tracing was helpful as following the lines was a little too tricky. Top tip: If you want your picture to end up the same way as the original just trace the other side of the baking parchment before placing on the plain paper to transfer
