Overview
Three 9 x 12 inch sketch pads with 50 heavyweight sheets each, built for kids to draw, color, or paint at home or on the go. FSC certified paper works with crayons, markers, pencils, chalk, and paints, and pages tear out cleanly for framing or sharing.
Buying three pads at once means fewer restocks and enough paper to hand one to each of several siblings or a classroom table. The bond paper is sized for dry media and light wet media rather than heavy watercolor washes, so expect some curling if paint goes on thick.
- 9 x 12 inch sheets, 50 per pad, three pads included
- FSC certified paper
- Works with crayons, markers, pencils, chalk, and light paint
- Perforated for clean tear out
Who it's for
Suits parents and teachers who want a stocked supply of tear out sketch paper for young artists using crayons, markers, or pencils. Not the choice for anyone planning serious watercolor work, since the paper is not weighted for heavy wet media.
Pros and cons
- Three full pads means less frequent restocking
- Sheets tear out cleanly for display or gifting
- Works across crayon, marker, pencil, and chalk
- Not sized for heavy watercolor or wet media
- No cover or binding to protect loose sheets in a bag
Performance notes
The heavyweight bond sheets hold up to crayon, marker, pencil, chalk, and poster paint without much bleed through, and the perforated edges let a finished piece come out clean enough to frame or hand over. Because the paper is not built for saturated washes, watercolor work will curl the page more than a dedicated watercolor pad would.
