Coloring tips
- Try charcoal, deep purple, midnight blue and a pale yellow moon. Color the night sky first with a dark crayon, then the bat in black so it pops.
- Crayons work on plain printer paper and are great for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Markers look bolder but can soak through, so print on 65 lb cardstock.
- Colored pencils are best for blending and fine detail on older kids’ pages.
