Materials Needed

Felt-tip pens or crayons
Scotch tape
Paper

Safety Guidelines

Watch out for this sign . It means you need an adult's help for the particular step.

Steps

	1.	Bundle up crayons or markers into groups of 2's, 3's, 4's or 5's. Smaller kids have smaller hands so they can only hold so much.
	2.	Test the bundled-up pens if they are writing well. Adjust the height of the pens if necessary.
	3.	Cover your working area with a mat or with newspapers. Provide a large enough paper for your child to draw on. Let kids doodle, scribble, and draw as they please. Remind your child that scribbling and doodling should only be done on paper and only during "art time".
