Make every day child's play with this delightful daily calendar that a child helps to illustrate!
Tokyo illustrator Taro Gomi brings his doodling book concept to a tablet box calendar that kids can doodle on every day.
Each page presents a playful prompt and a black marker drawing to finish.
On one day, a child is challenged to draw as many riders as he can on the long narrow back of a horse.
On another, he's given the outline of a pedestal and asked to design the sculpture that goes on it.
My favorite: a dragon's mouth waiting for a pencil to make it breath fire.
Siblings will be racing to the tablet to make their mark. (Keep those drawing straws handy!)
