A picture a day book - ideas please

I want to make my daughter (nearly 12) a book where she draws/colours/scribbles/etc. a picture a day. That's a lot of ideas!

I have quite a few ideas, but not yet 100, so as you can see I need help!!! Some (like a blank space for her feelings/ days/....) can be repeated.

She is suffering from a lot of anxiety, low mood and loneliness. Art is her refuge, so rather than asking her to write things down, I hoped this might help.

Thank you ladies.

The sort of ideas I've had so far are:

  • Draw in green
  • Draw what you didn't have for breakfast
  • Draw how you feel tonight
  • Draw the last person you sent a message to
  • Draw a rainbow you cannot see
  • Draw your favourite dog
  • Draw you cuddling your favourite dog
  • Draw how you plan to carve your pumpkin
  • Design a summer dress
  • Draw a sound (no letters/words allowed!)
  • Draw in the circle......

Yourself as a superhero?
Where you'd like to be right now?
Where your next holiday is?

Do a squiggle on the page and 'make this squiggle into something'

Draw what's in your mind right now

Draw X number of things that begin with X letter (20 things that begin with S for example).

Draw a picture without taking your pencil off the page

Oooh, you are good. This is feeling like a rather Herculean task....

Maybe I could ask her to draw a Herculean task!

Draw your fantasy house/island
Draw a mash up of 2 animals/invent a new animal
Draw your worries / a monster eating them
Still life things - her favourite accessory/fruit/shoes etc
Seasonal - a thunderstorm / fireworks / spring flowers / Easter eggs
Draw kindness
Something you are grateful for
Your spirit animal (patronus / daemon if she is a fan of either of those books!)

@Buffysoldersister brilliant! Especially like the patronus (too long since I read Phillip Pullman). Thank you
