12 Sharpie Crafts You’ve Gotta Try with Your Kids

Sharpie Crafts for Kids:  Who doesn’t love a huge pack of new Sharpies?  I surprised the kids last week at “Cousin Camp” with a new pack of Sharpies.  They’d be fun to have at Grandma Camp too!

Sharpie Crafts for Kids

We love to use Sharpies for everything;  puppets, Shrinky Dinks, outlining art work, tracing over letters, on Model Magic, and cardboard crafts.  Really, you can use them daily.

Sharpie Products

Amazon has great deals on Sharpie Marker Sets.

  • Sharpie 80’s Glam
  • Sharpie 24 Pack
  • Sharpie Metallic Markers – Such fun accents and they work great on dark surfaces.
  • Sharpie Oil Based Markers – the ones that you use for the “bake @ 350 degrees to make a super cute mug or plate” ideas!

In conclusion…

I overheard two girls at the pool.  (Very funny!)

One said, “You know what I heard about Middle School?  You can use Sharpie Markers!”

The other, “No way!  My mom would never let me use them!”

    That’s really cool. My daughters would like to do something like this. They love arts and crafts. They are always making me something, usually out of ribbon which they love. I never knew ribbon could be used in so many different crafts. Thanks for posting.

    I am desperately trying to find the Lego tee shirt face design. I’ve purchased the shirts and paint, but I am getting an error message indicating the page is not available.

      Hi, Judy. I am the web designer for Busy Kids = Happy Mom. I wanted to let you know that I have been updating the site and we are still working out all of the kinks. Here is the link you were wanting. https://www.busykidshappymom.org/lego-t-shirts-with-freezer-paper/

      Also, I have changed to a different search form and you should be able to find other posts easily in the future. I am sure Kristen will respond to your comment as well, but I wanted to make sure you got the link as soon as possible. Thank you.
