Those who know me personally (or if you have read the ABOUT ME) know that I LOVE all things Disney! One of my favorite things to do at the Disney Parks is to go to the Animation Academy and learn to draw a Disney character! It is such a great way to experience Disney and you also get to keep your drawing as a fun souvenir.
As we are about to start another week of sheltering in place this picture came up on my memories.
We were at Walt Disney World 6 years ago. It was my sons very first trip and oh how I wish we could be there today!
We personally didn’t have an upcoming trip planned there (I know several that did) but the fact that knowing Disney is closed makes me sad. However, I so appreciate them putting others before themselves. Making the decision to do so I am sure was hard, and I know was heartbreaking for many that had special trips planned.
This definitely doesn’t make up for a canceled trip but I wanted to share something fun we did today!
We, as a family, learned to draw Sven!
Who doesn’t love Sven?!? Even if Frozen or Frozen 2 is not a favorite or yours like it is in our house most people love Sven!
In this video a Disney Animator will guide you through sketching Sven.
It was so fun and felt like we were at the Animation Academy! (well except for the fact we were still just home!) We all enjoyed it though and sometimes it is hard to find something we all enjoy having a teenager and a Kindergartener!
So grab your family, some paper and a pencil and have fun!
You can use just plain copy paper and a regular pencil or you can go fancy and get a sketch pad and graphite pencils! Last week I got the kids their own sketch pad and some sketching pencils and they have loved drawing things. I bought them so they could do art, but I also think this will be a great thing to keep and look back on the drawings they did during this Covid-19 Quarantine.

Here are our drawings from today!
I hope you will also join the fun and do this! If you do, I would love to see your finished product! Have fun drawing!
