CIY Staff Tips

  • Printing the coloring page on a standard piece of printer paper and trimming it to fit an 8" x 10" frame works best, but feel free to experiment by printing larger or smaller.

  • Sign can be used for all the kids in your family! Simply wipe and fill out with their unique details.

  • Crayola Take Note Dry Erase Markers will also work in lieu of Window Markers.
