Drawing Games

Recently I bought a large whiteboard because it was magnetic, but Bam and I have been having fun playing these drawing games while Bob is asleep.  These games start by me placing random dots on the board.  



CONNECT THE DOTS:



Connect the dots with straight lines--pretty simple idea yet Bam found this very entertaining.  I was surprised at how straight Bam's lines were--He really took his time drawing them. 


DOTS:
We started with dots randomly placed on the board then we took turns drawing straight lines between dots.  Interestedly Bam didn't add on to my lines most of the time.  He would start his own path.   The first several times we played we connected two neighboring dots with straight lines.   Later on we started using diagonals.  


Bam has taken an interest in creating interesting drawings and stories to go with them.



He loves sharing these stories with Bob as soon as he wakes up but doesn't like it when Bob touches  the white board and erases the lines.
