About This Project

A 5–15 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Pencils, Printer, and Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Squiggle Art Worksheet And Game

    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Squiggle Art Worksheets

    To have some fun drawing and creating by yourself, print the squiggle art worksheets. Then, use a pencil or markers to fill in the rest of the drawing. Let your imagination run wild! What original works of art are hiding behind these squiggles? Don't have access to a printer? That's ok! Start by drawing some random squiggly lines on a piece of plain paper, then come back to fill in the details later.

    Step 2: Make it collaborative

    Ready to have some artistic fun with a friend? Print one game sheet template per person. Start a timer. When the leader says, "Go," everyone can draw one and only one line on their piece of paper. Then, pass the paper to the person on your right. Keep passing until the timer runs out! What fun art will you create together?
