Doodle Pad
What do you want to draw today? Doodle a flower, a dog, a funny face, a rocket, a dinosaur, or something else! The Doodle Pad is a simple online drawing tool that encourages kids to explore line, shape, and color in a fun and low-pressure way.
How to Use the Doodle Pad
To doodle, choose the size of the paintbrush by tapping on the dot symbol. Then, select your paintbrush size. Pick a color from the palette at the bottom of the screen, or adjust the shade by tapping on the square at the top. Notice that coloring over an area twice makes it darker, giving the experience a paper-like quality. Clear your drawing by pressing the trash can symbol.
Ideas for the Classroom
The online doodle tool is great for boosting student engagement and encouraging creativity! Try it for:
- Drawing ideas during brainstorming sessions

Connect with Line Printables
The Doodle Pad pairs perfectly with our line printables. Students can explore different kinds of lines on paper and then extend their practice online. For example:
- Scribble Line and Find Line: Great warm-ups for free drawing and observation.
- Emotional Lines: Connects art to feelings by showing how different kinds of lines can express mood.
- Make Line Quality and Make Line Types: Help students explore thick vs. thin, straight vs. wavy lines.
- Trace Line Types and Trace Line Direction: Support fine motor skills and awareness of directionality.
Combining the interactive Doodle Pad with these printable worksheets creates a full lesson on the element of line in art.
