Creative Prompt: Draw your name as a vine

Draw Your Name as a Vine or Tree — What’s Growing From It?

Imagine writing your name and letting it grow, like branches, vines, or roots. Does it look strong and sturdy, or light and twisty? Is it full of leaves, flowers, or fruit? Or maybe it’s resting for a season, waiting for new growth.

This is more than just a drawing exercise, it’s an invitation into contemplative play. That means slowing down, paying attention, and letting your imagination open a window to what God might be showing you. When we create without rushing, we make space to notice the connections between our inner life and the image taking shape on the page.

Wondering Questions

• What kind of tree or vine would your name become?

• What season is it in: spring, summer, fall, or winter?

• What’s growing from your life that others can see?

• What roots are keeping you steady?

• What new growth might be starting, even if it’s small?

How to Try It
Write your name in large letters. Turn each letter into part of a vine or tree, adding roots, branches, leaves, or fruit. You can color it or keep it simple. You might also write words on the branches, things that are part of your life right now. Or use this coloring page by adding your name and words or pictures that describe what is growing.

Kid-Friendly Option
Invite your child to write their name and turn it into a tree or vine. Ask:

• What’s growing from your tree?

• Who or what helps your roots grow strong?

• Does your tree like sunshine or shade?
  Encourage them to add animals, flowers, or anything else they imagine living in or around it.
