This week is a DrawTogether classic: the Heart Spiral*. We get our blood moving then slow it down with a calming, centering drawing practice kids of all ages can do anytime anywhere. We take some deep breaths and feel like a million bucks afterwards.

*Big shout out to the original spiralstress Lynda Barry for sparking this DrawTogether practice.

Suggested supplies: Paper, Pen or Pencil or Crayon
