     If you'd like to try out one turn of playing Pick and Draw, you can play a quick turn on P&D creator's website, PickAndDraw.com.  This will also show you how the game works!

     While I may have other talents, drawing hasn't been one of them.  My children long surpassed my drawing abilities when they were around five or six years old.  Yikes!  We have had a great time with this drawing game.  We even took it over to Grandma and Grandpa's home one night when we were invited over for dinner.  All six of us participated, and I was amazed that I could actually draw something!  What was the most fun for everyone was that even though we all had the same cards at which to look, our drawings turned out completely different from each other.  There was a lot of laughter and ribbing going on that evening, thanks to Pick and Draw.  I wanted to share samples of our drawings here, but I've just run out of time to do that.  Maybe in the future!
