Finn and I have had fun reading a book called "Purple, Green and Yellow", by Robert Munsch and Helene Desputeaux, about a little girl who asks to draw with some permanent markers. I decided it was a great time to bring out my own set for Finn to experiment with.
The brand I have are 'texta', but the 'sharpie' brand in a variety of colours would be just as good.
I gave Finn a couple of sheets of good quality card stock.
He created a whole gallery of portraits, he was on such a roll he drew on a paper bag when he ran out of the card stock.

This little character is a 'ballerina'. A collaboration between Evie and Finn.
The lovely thing about using permanent markers is the lines are so sharp, and unlikely to fade like other water based markers. You can also work over the top with a ink wash without them bleeding. They are not so great for getting off furniture, walls etc, so keep them away from very little hands.
