What are The Benefits of Doodling?
Doodling is a great way to let your creativity flow and it can also be therapeutic. Doodling isn’t a sign of a loss of concentration, in fact, it’s the opposite!
Research has shown that doodling has a crazy amount of benefits! Not only will it help your brain because it improves your memory, improves concentration and visualization, but it is also great for your mental health.
Doodling helps with processing your emotions, it can make you more productive and is a calming stress reliever. I have numerous blog posts that go into further detail about the benefits of doodling on the mental health of kids and adults.

What Materials Do I Need for Doodling?
Doodling is also a great activity for kids because it can motivate them to explore their creative side through a super fun experience. As well, doodling can help spark their imagination and doesn’t require many tools. In most instances, a pencil and a piece of paper will suffice.
