Once I found the Stabilo brand, which I think is based in Europe, I never looked back. Years of experimenting with lots of other brands always left me disappointed. They come in a wonderful array of colors, have a nice tip that colors well, and are even said to last for quite awhile with the cap off. And we all know how valuable that is when working with busy classrooms. You can buy them on Amazon, or in some art supply stores. When it comes to coloring, the best markers for elementary school children, in my opinion, are the Stabilo Power Wallet Brand. If they have extra time and space, they could add some other simple doodles of their own creation around the outside. Students trace the drawing neatly with a pen or marker, and erase any extra pencil lines.

If either side looks a little visually unbalanced, add or remove bubbles to fix the problem. They can vary in size, and attach to the name and to each other. Lastly, a series of simple bubble shapes are added all around. The entire name gets an extra outline, so that another ring of color can get added. Once you have nice large block letters in place, the fun begins.

This is especially helpful for some of those curvy shaped letters. A letter needs to first be drawn lightly with a pencil, traced around the outside, and then erased on this inside. The step by step instructions show the best way to make one. If students have not made block letters before, that’s no problem.

It’s also easy to customize, so those that would like to make more, might get some inspiration with other simple words. If students can write their name with stick letters, they can learn how to turn their name into a doodle. It’s easy for students of all ages, so even beginners can join in on the fun. This project focuses on turning a name into a doodle by adding a fun outline and then simple decorations. No special skills are needed, just an interest in making a cute and fun drawing.
