BIC Mark It has a fun page on Facebook where they frequently share inspirational doodling and more. They kindly agreed to allow me to share with you some of my favorite drawings on their page, which I find quite inspirational.
Doodle ideas for clothing.
Doodle ideas for nature.
Doodle sweet notes to stick in lunch boxes, or to give to friends and family.
Doodle inspiration pictures and words.
Doodle your imagination.
Just Doodle to have fun and create smiles.
The BIC Mark It comes in a Ultra Fine, Fine, Bold, Chisel and Retractable Fine points which you can find in collections of 5, 12, 36 or individual permanent marking pencil purchase on Amazon, Target, WalMart and various craft stores. These pens can certainly be fun for kid friendly projects, but as they are permanent markers they are not appropriate for young kids. Consider using with family craft times, where you have good parental supervision and judgement, if you have young children.
I love to doodle with these markers. They are fun to play with using a sketchbook and various papercrafts. As the BIC Mark It is a permanent marker, it is also excellent to use on fabrics. But, for a kid friendly project this week I used some plain greeting cards from Michaels and ran them thru my eBosser using embossing folders.
Then it was great fun to use the BIC Mark It pens to color these greeting cards and they also make for fun kid friendly projects!

Oh my goodness, Darlene.... Miss Baby would LOVE to those BIC markers. We bought her the basic set because it was cheaper than the deluxe set in the store. She was fine with it, but did tell us that she wished she had the deluxe set because it has "peach" (skin) color. She couldn't quite draw people's faces nicely with the basic set without that "peach" marker.
ReplyDeleteOne of the recent drawings I showed on my blog today is done with the BIC markers.
These markers look SO COOL! And their not only for kids :-) I make cards, and these would be so fun to color in some of the stamps that I use. Of course I would love to share these with my little nieces too!
ReplyDeleteThese look like lots of fun! I love to doodle in the spaces of reports when at meetings. Shhhhhh....
ReplyDeleteOh, would love these to add to the 'grandies' arsenal of fun supplies - how cool are these! We are starting some stamping with them now that they are older (daughter has them interested in card making).
ReplyDeletethose pens look interesting to use - almost missed this post
ReplyDeleteOk, now you know we love markers here at the IHAN household. I have some of the Bic markers but not the sets. What fun to color in all those printable pages. The look great for card making and all sorts of other paper crafting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post...it made me smile....coloring is so much fun!
Smiles,
Kelly

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Who doesn't love being crafty?!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to draw and color with kids. And it's a good excuse for me to feel like a kid again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun hop! I love getting kids interested in crafts and more. Loved the idea of the embosser. I often grab paper, markers, and fun scissors when I know my nieces and nephews will be around. Fun, laughter, and peace!
ReplyDeleteI know a couple little girls that I would love to share these markers with :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing those markers reminded me that everyone loves a new set of markers--big kids, little kids, fully grown kids. What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway, I never thought about using Bic pens on fabric but I have used them for doodling! I would love to win those sets!
ReplyDeleteOne might cringe when they see my collection of bid (and Sharpie) markers! One might say I'm a little obsessed! Lol
ReplyDeleteUhhhhh, who doesn't love a new set of markers!! I want those.... so neat......
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome for working on our drawing skills and for craft time projects. Looking at card making right now.
ReplyDeleteNice doodle tools. I have forgotten how to be a kid and doodle.
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter would just love those!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughters and I always crafted together and still do -- in all kinds of mediums. (GFC Cheryl Simplyblogs)
ReplyDeleteMy grandson loves to use markers of many colors. I haven't tried Bic markers but would like to.
ReplyDeleteDid you see that Angela Walters has written a book with her 8 yr. old daughter with some child friendly sewing projects, it comes out in April 2015, I can't wait!
