Learn how to set up art prompts for your kids that encourage creative exploration, skill-building, and independence.
Imagine your child walking into a room to discover a few art materials thoughtfully arranged on the table.
This curious display is fresh and intriguing, inviting her to sit down and engage.
This is an “Invitation To Create,” sometimes called a prompt or provocation.
Invitations To Create are about the process of exploring the materials, with no intended outcome. They are a great tool to deepen your child’s art experience and to encourage skill-building and independence. They can be a total game-changer for your family.
Invitations To Create…
- Help keep your kids engaged while you get things done around the house.
- Are an easy and fun activity for a playdate.
- Are a creative alternative to screen time.
- Might just allow you to sleep in!
- Help build important skills for writing, self-sufficiency, scientific thinking and so much more!
“Every morning, after breakfast, my girls now check out what art supplies I laid out for them the night before. It gives me enough time to wash dishes, make lunches and prep dinner. I much prefer my mornings like these instead of hearing TV in the background.
Thank you!”

“The kids are doing more art, everyday. Your Invitations to Create are ingenious… As simple as they may seem to you, I would never do this without your laying it out for me… So, thank you.”

I’m Megan Schiller, founder of The Art Pantry. I first learned about Invitations To Create as a Reggio-Inspired preschool teacher and have since used them with my own kids for the past 13 years. They have truly been a game changer in our family and I’m so excited to share them (and all of my tips!) with you.
