Welcome to Magic Marker Monday! If you haven’t heard about Magic Marker Monday yet, click here and then hurry right back…

In celebration of my kiddos love of the Sunday Funnies (and an inexplicable yet persistent Peanuts obsession), I decided to let them entertain themselves by doodling their own comic strips this week.

Want to give it a try?

It’s super easy!

We found some great free printable comic strip templates at donnayoung.org. All you have to do is click on the template you want, print it, then hand it over to your pint-sized cartoonist and watch the magic happen!

Happy doodling!

    That’s cute. I remember drawing comics when I was little. In Art class we’d have to make up our own. I’d always get my brother to draw them for me, because my drawings were horrible.

    What a creative idea! I’ve forgotten about the funnies because we do not get the paper. But as a kid, I loved them. This is an idea I need to file away for when the kids are just a bit older.

    Oh my heavens, my daughter will L-O-V-E this! Thank you! She adores drawing our daily schedules in small squares — just imaging the fun she’ll have getting into cartoons and storyboarding :D

    So good to see James’ lovely work back @ MMM!

    And Tammy — Seriously? Your act together? You’re kidding right? The things you manage get done in a day leave me in a continual state of awe. Oh, if I could even begin to approach your level of act-togetherness! ;)
