Help!?
What can I use instead of a black marker or fancy colouring materials if I don't have them?
If you don't have a black marker, trace over your final pencil lines with a dark ballpoint pen or a fine-tip permanent marker, and use crayons or colored pencils as substitute colouring materials.
What should I do if my eraser smudges the paper or the marker bleeds when I trace my doodle?
If the eraser smudges or the marker bleeds, lightly erase extra pencil lines as instructed, place a scrap sheet under your hand, trace gently with the pen and let the ink dry fully before you start to color MushroomFroggy.
How can I change the activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, pre-draw the big rounded dome and short stem for them to color and add simple heart shapes, while older kids can add detailed patterns, shading with colored pencils and write a longer Valentine message before tracing with the black marker or pen.
How can we make the MushroomFroggy doodle more special or keep it as a gift?
Turn your paper into a card by folding it, write 'Be Mine' or another message inside as the instructions suggest, add extra small hearts or sparkles with glitter glue or metallic pens after coloring, and then share your finished MushroomFroggy on DIY.org.
