Alikat is right. The Crayola Crayon quilts are easy, not messy and last really well. Precut the squares, 8 1/2" or even larger and have the kids draw their picture making the colours fairly intense. I found poly/cotton worked well with the crayon. Iron the finished picture between paper towels to set the crayon. It actually sinks right into the fabric and doesn't seem to fade much if washed in cold water. I line dried it as I was afraid the heat from the dryer would disturb the crayon. Assemble the blocks with sashing and have the kids tie the quilt. She'll love it.
