Recommended Media:

We tested different artistic media to see what would work for this coloring book and what does not. It is very important to browse through this list before considering your purchase:

Colored Pencils: Work great with this coloring book.Colored Pencils with Blending Solvents: This still works, but we recommend using a sheet of paper underneath the page you are working on to prevent bleed-through.Crayons: Work great with this coloring book. Keep the points sharper for the finer detailed section, and don't worry too much about coloring outside the lines. You can always blend :).Water-Based Markers (washable markers)- There is a little bit of bleed-through especially with the color red. We recommend at least one if not two sheets of paper underneath the page you're working on. The bleed-through is not severe but can be distracting when trying to read the words on the other side of the page.
