Draw the Genie Coming Out of the Lamp — Imagination Drawing Activity for Kids

Here’s a fun, free drawing prompt that sparks creativity and storytelling: “Draw the genie coming out of the lamp.” With just a simple outline lamp and a blank space, children are invited to imagine the genie’s appearance, personality, and magical style.

What’s Inside This Printable

• A bold title: “DRAW”

• A subtitle: “the genie coming out of the lamp”

• A black-and-white outline of a magic lamp in the corner

• Plenty of blank space for kids to draw the genie as they imagine it

Why This Is Useful for Kids

• Boosts imagination & creativity — children can invent how the genie looks, what form it takes (smoke, human, whimsical creature)

• Fine motor / drawing practice — working with lines, shapes, proportions

• Storytelling & expression — kids can imagine a backstory: what is the genie doing? What powers does it have?

• Versatile for different grade levels — younger kids draw simply, older kids can add details, shading, color
