Not everyone has the ability to create Disney quality masterpieces when it comes to drawing characters, but everyone can have a go!
I’ve created some bits and pieces that you can use to get some inspiration for a character or cartoon for your ministry. You can even print these out and use them as an activity with the kids- I did this recently with a group of primary school kids who all LOVED the activity and were very creative!
