Scribble/Color Book-Giveaway

Here's a fun book for the summer holidays combining two very different but equally enjoyable activities (at least to me)—the loose freedom of scribbling and the calm concentration of coloring.

I started with sheet of used copy paper with writing on one side. I made a continuous line scribble on the side without the writing that covered the entire paper.

I folded it into a hot dog booklet and then colored in the shapes made by the scribble.

For the front and back cover, I used marker. On one of the inside spreads, I used colored pencils. For another I used two sizes of black and white marker and drew lines and shapes. For the other I filled them in with letters.

This would be a great activity for travel. Make a few scribble books and then take markers or pencils for coloring in on the road.
