And since he's a fan of Mo Willems' Pigeon series, he would love this Don't Let the Pigeon Finish This Activity Book!īoth of my boys love to practice their writing and drawing skills using window markers. My oldest son isn't quite into doodle books yet, but I really do think in a couple of years he will enjoy Oodles of Doodles or The Boys' Doodle Book. We like the Melissa & Dough easel paper rolls and any kind of notebook from the dollar store (which makes great stocking stuffer ideas for Christmastime as well!). Of course nothing beats drawing on some fresh paper or writing in a new notebook. We have two chalkboards like these and they have seen a lot of drawing over the years! My parents, thankfully, made a huge chalkboard for the boys last Christmas (it's like 4.5' x 4.5') so that the kids can draw anything they imagine and any size they imagine! I also highly recommend vinyl animal-shaped chalkboards similar to this hippo one. Again, you just need to check out my Instagram to see how well loved chalk is at our house.
