Thinker Doodles activities develop a wide variety of thinking skills as they engage your child in drawing and coloring. More fun than mindless coloring books, Thinker Doodles develop organized analysis and motor skills needed for success in reading, writing, and mathematics. These quick, fun activities can be used in the classroom, after school, at home, and on trips to stimulate developing minds.

Half 'n Half B1 present students with the challenge of completing a picture that is only half drawn. To complete the drawing, your child must mentally flip the image to add the missing parts. Once the drawing is finished, students are encouraged to be creative by coloring the animal in imaginative ways and adding a setting and/or objects to their picture.
