Let the kids draw, color, and design however they’d like! The markers wipe off easily so even if they aren’t happy with a line they drew, it easily wipes off. They could draw characters, make a rainbow, and so on.
The Fun Chalk Marker colors are fun and they go on with a milky, vibrant look. The kids are sure to love them!
You can see how we used these markers to decorate recycled cd spinning tops here or head over to I Heart Crafty Things to see how they decorated owl pumpkins with a chalkboard paint base. The chalkboard really makes the marker colors pop.
I love The The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin book! It’s the cutest book with the family tune and the words suited to fit a pumpkin instead of a spider. If you have little ones, I encourage you to check it out.
