Multi-surface Paint Pens can be used on a wide range of surfaces including stone, wood, glass, canvas, plastic and paper. Available from many brands, they offer strong colour and are waterproof when dry.
As a result, they are terrific for use in making outdoor board games for the summer like this Ladybird and Bumble Bee version of Noughts and Crosses.
In this example, I have taken a few pebbles and a piece of slate and used red, black and yellow pens to add colour directly to them. Allow a couple of minutes to dry – or even less on a baking summer’s day – and your game is ready to play….
in the sunshine….
or even in the rain!
