CBT Guided and Directed Drawing Set 1 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Art Activity

This directed drawing CBT activity is a fun counseling art intervention to teach CBT strategies such as the power of positive thinking. Kids answer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy themed prompts to unlock the steps to complete each of the three drawings.

Kids love directed drawing because they're fun! They are also a great tool because they help enhance kid's confidence and self-esteem, while working on their fine motor skills, as well as their ability to focus and pay attention to details.

Kids will begin to understand how their feelings, thoughts, and actions are connected. Plus, with the unique social-emotional learning pre-teaching slides in this resource, you can also address growth mindset, grit, patience, coping skills, and being okay with making mistakes
