Pick and Draw–Review and Giveaway!

Finding a game that most of my children can play at the same time can be a bit challenging with the wide age range (11 months – 10 years).  Honestly, the youngest doesn’t insist he get to play just yet, but his 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10 year old siblings all do.  I was excited to receive Pick and Draw because it really is a game they all can play together.  The premise is simple.  Using the card deck, paper, and pencils you all draw a cartoon face, one feature at a time.  The card deck is divided into the following categories:

• Face
• Nose
• Eyes
• Mouth
• Hair

Everyone in the group uses the same card to determine what to draw, with creative license given to make each feature as large or small, straight or crooked, sideways or upside down as they wish.  The end result are totally unique creations that all came from the same set of 5 cards. 
The game gets very silly along the way at my house because you find family members trying to make their face move the way the cards show, like this: The game can even be done with just one player, much to my artistic Emma’s delight.  She spent nearly an hour one afternoon mixing up the card decks and creating masterpieces.  No two pictures ended up the same.
Want to try Pick and Draw yourself?  Grab a piece of paper and a pencil and go here.  Click on each card on the page to reveal the feature you need to draw.  Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Wasn’t that fun and easy?  Now imagine doing it with your whole family over Thanksgiving – not only is it great for the children but the whole extended family can get in on this game as well.  Some of the best family memories are the simplest to create, and I plan to introduce this one to our extended family this year.
