Hi John,

Happy September!

Could you use a little bit of playful creative time in your day? If you're strapped for time, our printable mini sketchbook with daily prompts is an easy, low stress way to add maker time to an already busy routine.

How it works: Print and assemble the mini sketchbook, decorate the cover, read the daily word, let your creative juices flow, and create anything you like in a sketchbook, art journal, post-it note, you name it.

Take as little as 5 minutes each day (so easy if you're like me and time feels limited).

There's no pressure to achieve any level of perfection. In fact, mistakes and imperfections are most welcome.

It's portable and easy to tuck into a pocket or bag for on-the-go making.

​Click here for the free September Art Challenge Guide and mini sketchbook printable​

The free guide includes a list of my favorite sketchbook tools, printable to make your own mini sketchbook (all the daily words are already printed on it - see last month's below), and reflection sheets.

The free guide includes:

1. Tips on how to get started.
2. A list of my favorite sketchbook tools.
3. A mini sketchbook that you can print, with all the daily prompts added right to the mini pages.
4. Reflection pages that you can do with your child or on your own.

Once you print it, fold it, and glue the sections together, make a personalized cover from a piece of art you've saved, and then it's ready to go!

Great for Family Time

Print one for each family member and set aside a few minutes each to connect while creating. Set out some art supplies and encourage each person to interpret the word as they like.

Great for Classrooms

These are also great for classrooms. Each child could have a printed mini sketchbook for the class to create in as a morning warm-up or afternoon break.
