Drawing apparatus including a doll with pivotable joints, a desk which can capture the shoes of the doll so that the doll''s arms lie over the upper desk surface, a drawing instrument designed to be held by a hand of the doll to feed a crayon therefrom so that the doll can draw on paper laid on the upper surface of the desk, and a wand for movement by a child, the wand having a magnet that can be moved around a region beneath the upper desk surface to pull the drawing instrument and crayon therein along a sheet of paper on the desk. A template defining a design to be drawn is placed on the desk beneath a sheet of paper, so that movement of the crayon results in the template design being drawn on the paper. The drawing instrument includes a spring or flat plate of rubber with a hole through which a crayon can be inserted so that the crayon is held tightly in place, and so that the crayon tends to be fed outwardly with a predetermined force.
