Family Portrait Drawing

Min number of participants 2
Age 4+ yrs.
Safety support by adult Not required
Min duration 20 min.
Cost None (Free)
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Sit together and take turns drawing each other's portraits — no artistic talent required. The funny results, commentary, and shared laughter make this a wonderfully bonding indoor activity.

The Essentials

  • Start with basic shapes to map out proportions before adding detail
  • Use a mirror or photo reference so family members can draw themselves
  • Encourage loose, expressive lines rather than aiming for perfect realism
  • Set a relaxed time limit so it stays fun, not stressful
  • Display everyone's portraits together to compare different styles
