In classrooms

Therapy and wellness

Printing and materials tips
- Paper choice:
- Everyday: 20 lb (75 gsm) copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils.
- Better results: 28–32 lb (100–120 gsm) premium paper prevents show-through and gives smoother pencil blending.
- Markers or mixed media: 65–80 lb (176–216 gsm) cardstock resists bleed and buckling.
- Printer settings:
- Choose Actual size or Fit to page to avoid cropping; test one page first.
- For crisp lines, print at 100% with High quality or Best setting.
- Save ink with Grayscale if you don’t need deep blacks; lines will still be clear.
- Prevent bleed-through:
- Place a scrap sheet behind your page when using markers.
- Alcohol markers: always use cardstock and a barrier sheet.
- Coloring tools:
- Crayons: great for younger kids; layer light-to-dark for smoother fills.
- Colored pencils: blend with light pressure; burnish with a colorless blender.
- Water-based markers: minimal bleed, vibrant; outline edges first, then fill.
- Gel pens and metallics: add highlights, stars, or visor shine.
- Finishing touches:
- Add white gel pen dots to visors for a glossy look.
- Use a soft graphite pencil for simple shadows under the crewmate.
- Storage and display:
- Slip finished art into page protectors or binders by theme or date.
- Create a rotating gallery with clipboards or washi tape.
- Photograph favorites to build a digital portfolio.
Organize your printable set
- Print a small index sheet with 4 thumbnails per page to preview designs.

- Label folders by theme: classic crewmates, space backgrounds, holiday hats, action poses.
- Prep party packs: 10–12 mixed designs per group, plus a variety of coloring tools.
