How to assemble the Doodle Book

Printing them out

If you are looking for a great printer to use – I love my HP! I wrote up a whole post why The reasons I love the printer. This post also shows how you can make sure you are getting the best prints by adjusting your settings!

You will want to adjust the size of the print depending on the size of your drawing pad!

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PRINTER: You can also upload the files to staples or office max and have them print them! Sometimes the local library has a printer for public use!

Cutting out the printables:

I love Fiskars! Nice sharp scissors or paper cutters will get you the best-looking edges! I just cut out each prompt into strips.

Attaching the printable:

For the cover, I just glued the whole sheet to the front.

Once you have all the prompts, you can sort through and pick out what ones you want to use. There are over 60 so you might not need them all.

Add a some glue to the back of each prompt and glue them to the bottom of each page.

For some coloring pages you can start them off by adding a sketch. You don’t have to do this- just depends on your skill level and the age level of the kids!

I made two doodle books from these two pages of prompts and paired them with some fun gel pens, color-changing markers, or a giant pack of all the colors of colored pencils for a darling, creative inspiring gift for my niece and nephew.
