my (almost) 2 year old loves to color on white fabric with fabric markers. She "draws" all sorts. We have laminate floors in the house and I cut out 12 or 14 inch squares and use painters tape to tape them to the floor so they don't move when she colors them. I don't allow food or drink in my sewing area - we always take a "break" every half hour - that's my daughters attention span to coloring.
