Not for water coloring.
The description says this pad can be used for water coloring but not true. Just for plain art this might be ok. Don't believe everything that is written in the product description.

Fat crayons
Big fat crayons for children developing their eye-hand coordination can be difficult to find. You carry this item and I am so very pleased. Thank you!

I am using the sketch pad to make patterns for soldier Christmas stockings. Once the stockings are done (sewed) they are sent to our troops.

Enhanced creativity
Enhanced creativity in breakout sessions with adult participants. Allowed them to use crayons to create as a child with no boundaries. They got very creative identifying problems and potential solutions.

Artist Sketch Pad
I wasn’t sure Staples would have exactly what I needed as it was unusual. As I went to the art supplies section there it was the precise size and type of paper I needed. I couldn’t have found it anywhere else. Thank you Staples!

Just what I needed
The pad I was using was too rough for the project I was working on. Pencil work would smudge felt tip marker would run. This paper is smoother and whiter. No smudging no bleeding. Would be nice to have it in 18x24 and/or 18x30 for larger projects.

For my budding artist
My brand new 5 year old wanted 'bigger' paper to draw her works of art/stories on. This is doing the trick.

Great sketch pad especially for the price!
I have really enjoyed using this sketch pad! The paper has a great feel to it primarily the feeling while pencil is against it) and for the price you can’t beat it! I will certainly be buying more in the future

Drawing on it revitalized my “pitch”!
I haven’t used a “sketch pad” in years…or decades…but when I touched my #2 pencil to the surface of the pad and began to “draw ” ideas were unleashed from the page like a firehose and my proposal to a prospect for a $25 Mil investment took a shape I had not yet witnessed. Thank you Dale. I will let you know the outcome.
