With the above image as my inspiration, I am making a coloring sheet for the kids at the wedding and tucking a small package of crayons in the pocket (side note: anyone know where I can get 4 packs of crayons???). The sheets will probably be 11 x 17 double sided with a total of four images. Below are the images I'm using (they are all from the amazing kid's comic 'Tiny Titans'):
Whats that say at the bottom you say? You want a close up you say?
Aw yeah.
cute idea.
ReplyDeleteawww! way to be encouraging and promote a sense of self! :)
ReplyDeletelove that you're tying the superhero theme into the kids coloring page (and the Friendlys love!)!
That's great! Maybe check a party supply store or oriental trading for little packs of crayons.
ReplyDeleteThey will love those!
ReplyDeleteschnelle- thanks!
ReplyDeleteangie- aw thanks! it really is such ana adorable, very funny comic. kids need cool stuff like this around :)
tamar- thanks so much for the tip! just ordered some from oriental trading
mrs. t- i hope so! thanks!
These are great! I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of suggestions (not sure if you have any moms of young kids helping -- if you do, ignore this)? I'm not sure the ages of your wee guests, but just in case you have a few that are under age 8,
ReplyDelete(1) Make sure you include a large box area with plenty of white space for free-drawing. Little kids love coloring, but they're overwhelmed by detailed images, and in-between kids (ages 4-7) can get frustrated when they are not able to color in the lines like the bigger kids.
(2) Include a small sheet of stickers. You can get them in bulk at party supply and craft stores.
If you need a good source for small boxes of crayons, check out oriental trading and Birthday Express. Or get a large crayon carosel (more expensive than the party crayons).
sarah- of course not! I appreciate it! i actually read your comment AFTER i finished making them and I was like 'oh no!' but I did manage to leave chunks of white space and the sticker idea is phenomenal! I am definetly going topick some up!
ReplyDeleteyou may want to have extras.
ReplyDeletein case any 24 year old guests want to color.
