Hi what do your kids enjoy drawing with? Eg crayons/felts/colour pencils etc.

Today I left a pad of paper and a pencil on the coffee table by accident, and Chelsea stood up there and drew squiggles on the paper with the pencil, hehe, so thought she might like her own colourful drawing stuff. Any suggestions?

we have a scrap book with strong paper so that we dont have to look for paper all the time and keeps it all together for him and he goes back and looks through his drawing book.

we like using washable felts. he finds them easier and better than crayons and being washable it doesnt matter if they get on things. we have had some accidently on the table, couch and carpet and its come out really easily. much easier than crayon!

I loved everything as a kid!! My granddad told me leaving them around to find and experiment with is a good idea although might want to be careful with that one lol

We like the thick felts, Isla still manages to destroy the thin felt pins quickly by stabbing them too hard onto paper.

We love felts here too... started with them at a young age, and he knows how to look after them really well now, putting lids back on and not pressing to hard etc. The pictures look heaps cooler too, compared to crayon ones

DD loves drawing too, but she loves eating things much more. She will eat chalk, crayons, paint you name it.

So to be on the safe side i suggest getting non toxic things, especially because she is still at the age things might go in the mouth.

Perhaps craytons would be best, or thick felts.

Those crayola felts are brilliant, and often on the one day / three deals sites. I give her biros a bit because she seems to enjoy them, and crayons on the occasion but they're still fun to break. I stay away from pencils

The little crayola beginner things they can hold and look like dabbers are cool! I got Angus some crayons today and he loves them!! I just got them from the $2 shop. non toxic so all good. :)

We found DS eats crayolns, mainly cos he knows i get annoyed, but coloured pencils are a big hit, most days he says to us drawing drawing, then we get the stuff out.

We love the crayola washable felts too, fat tips so they dont get squashed by our little Picasso's

I do like to use a mixture tho, think its good for exploring texture etc so we have crayons and coloured pencils too.

Crayola also do this neat colour wonder system, you fill the pen with water and use it on the special colouring book and it makes the colour on the page but the pen is filled with water so if you are in the car or on holiday or at Grandma's etc they can still colour and have a ball but there is no ink to worry about!!!!

Oh and look online at things like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for printable pages to colour in, save a bundle on colouring books and dont forget to use both sides of the paper.

We have a giant A3 pad for free drawing and then we like to colour in Mickey or Handy Manny or Thomas etc sometimes.
