Balloon

I like to use shading in my artwork.  Here's a simple design where I combined red, orange, & yellow. You can draw this balloon by first drawing a circle.  Then draw a small triangle at the bottom of the circle.  Add a string by drawing a wavy line.  The balloon will appear to float by drawng a wavy line.

Tracing with Cookie Cutters

You can use cookie cutters as a drawing tool for tracing.   Pick up your favorite shaped cookie cutter at a local supermarket.  Place the cookie cutter on a cardstock or paper. Trace around the shape of the cookie cutter.  Once you have the shape, fill in the details.  You can make a variety of crafts using this idea. Try magnets, bookmarks, holiday ornaments, & more!
