Pick And Draw Game : The Perfect Stocking Stuffer

December 14, 2015 by Crystal McClean

Fun games for the family that are also educational are hard to find at a reasonable price, and I’m happy to say we’ve found just the game.  The Pick and Draw game by Rich Davis will fit in your pocket and not leave you out of pocket.

Pick and Draw is the perfect stocking stuffer for all ages!

We were introduced to this game almost 3 years ago when we reviewed The Big Book of Pick and Draw Activities.  I was so impressed with all of the learning activities that could accompany the game, that I immediately ordered myself a deck of the cards and am happy to partner with Rich again! (This post contains affiliate links)

What is the Pick and Draw Game?

Pick and Draw (PAD) is a special deck of cards.  They are divided into the following groups:

  • Face
  • Nose
  • Eyes
  • Mouth
  • Hair

How To play Pick And Draw

First you gather up some paper and pencils, pencil crayons, markers, etc.

All you need to play PAD is the deck of cards, pencils and paper...imagination is a bonus

Then you simply pick up one card from each category above and draw the features in that order.  This game can be played by one player, but if more than one person is playing, then there are a couple of options.

Draw zany characters with the PAD game cards

Get creative with your colors and create unique characters

  1.  Each person can choose different cards at the same time.

2.  Only one card is picked and everyone draws the same feature.  This is always interesting because each character will look very different!  The features can be drawn right side up, upside down, sideways, large, or small.  Each variation makes the end character unique.

I tend to think of how 10 eye witnesses can describe the same person so differently when we play this way.

These two faces were drawn using the same cards, but look very different.

3. Use the Big Book of Pick And Draw Activities for so many more ways to play, as well as ways to add it into your language arts and art classes.

Pick and Draw would be perfect for travel by plane, train, bus, boat, or other means as it takes so little space, and is so easy to play. Bring it out while waiting for connections and you’ll soon have a crowd of interested onlookers interested in what all the fun is!

    This does look like a fun game Crystal – takes me back to the drawing games my sister and I used to invent on road trips!

      Fantastic! Simple games are so often the best, in my opinion. Who needs gadgets to have fun? Bring on the paper and pens!

      We’ve had our deck for almost 3 years now, and it’s great for the kids (and us adults, too)!

    This looks like a great game for my preschoolers to play! It would definitely promote eye-hand and fine motor coordination!

      My daughter must have been 2 or 3 the first time she played, and she was on an even playing field with the rest of us, which makes it a very family-friendly game.

    This looks like the perfect game for my daughter’s stocking. She has such a love for drawing, and she would get a kick out of the silly faces. Going to amazon to find this now ☺
