Put Me In, Coach
What is a ‘portable drawing coach,’ you wonder?
Well, it’s this:
Weird, right? How you think ‘portable drawing coach’ is a nonsense phrase, but then you see a one-minute video, and you’re like, “Oh, I get it: it’s a portable device that coaches my kid on how to draw!”
Now, look: there’s a reason this thing isn’t even 10 bucks. It’s because it’s so simple. There are no apps to download or extra levels to unlock. It does one thing. It shows kids how to draw goofy little pictures, step by step.
But that’s also what makes it such a good gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season.
Kids like portable gaming and kids like to draw. And so this is a good way to keep your kids entertained with something that’s enriching but also not enriching enough that they’ll catch on right away.
In other words, it’s the perfect compromise: somewhere between buying your kid a game called Zombie Blood Explosion (now with 189% more guts!) and trying to convince them that staying quiet and doing math homework is “fun.”
So get one for your kid and teach them to draw even if you have no artistic skills at all!
