How To Draw a Christmas Cake from the Christmas Crayon Cafe

I just love how pretend play and drawing come together to create the Christmas Crayon Cafe. This freebie is How To Draw a Christmas Cake from the Christmas Crayon Cafe download. If you are not familiar with the Crayon Cafe’s here is how they work. Print out the download. Kids can open up their own pretend restaurant and serve up doodles and drawings. The best part about these products is they are perfect for last minute activity ideas, excellent for travel and even great for playing inside a hotel room (which it is not easy to find activities for little ones in a hotel room).

Once the black and white pages are printed, the kids can get to “work”. Hand out the menus, take orders and serve up doodles on the placemats. This free How To Draw a Christmas Cake from the Christmas Crayon Cafe includes the step by step directions to help children learn how to draw. Once the kids draw it, they can color it if they choose or serve it up pencil style.

If you are playing with real little ones who can not follow the drawing directions, let them scribble on the placemat templates and bring your back your order.

Here is when we have used the Crayon Cafe activity:

the hotel room where play space is limited
boredom buster
indoor play on cold, rainy days
independent play while Mom or Dad cook dinner, do work or chores
gift idea
road trips
waiting in the doctor’s office or anywhere (I print two sheets to a page so the printed pages are smaller for easier travel).
