What are Double Doodle?
Double Doodle Play, a window that enters into the world of Edu-K through a unique two-handed learning. It was introduced in the 1980’s when the book of Brain Gym®: Simple Activities for Whole-Brain Learning was published. And now it is an 8 hour elective course in the Edu-K programme by Gail E. Dennison. Double Doodle Play is a unique kind of art experience, for the most part different from fine art, yet like all art endowing us throughout our life by supporting our artistic pleasure and aesthetic appreciation, as well as providing a foundation for academic skills.

Preparations before doodling
Usage of banana leaves
Banana leaves are large and long enough to serve a full meal with lots of dishes as we enjoy in banana leaf rice. Could you imagine how to do art with banana leaf vein? Its vein is flexible, waterproof and decorative.
What are the preparations?
- The vein is the bottom part attached to the leaf. Use a cutter to separate it from its leaf.
- Cut the length of vein to about 5cm.
- Dip the vein into a colour pallet. Mix different colours if needed.
- Use two hands to hold two veins to doodle on the same paper.
