Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

"I showed my grandkids how we used make similar drawings by covering a crayon drawing with black crayon and scratching off the black to reveal a picture. They MUCH prefer Color Explosion™ Markers. "
Irena L., grandmother of 6- and 8-year-olds.

"Campers compared their early morning doodles with late afternoon ones. They couldn’t believe how different the results were at different times of the day."
Chung-Wa S., camp counselor.

Do you think your doodles reveal anything about who you are? Where the doodles appear on the page could have meaning. For example, if they are in the center that might show a need for attention—you like to be the star of the show. If they’re mostly along the bottom, you could be a more practical person. Various shapes could have meaning too, such as arrows for ambition or wanting to get to a goal.
