Just depends on what the kids draw.
I am also thinking about using cotton duck fabric and making tote bags with the kid's drawings. Would markers be better and hold up to more frequent washing?
After many attempts to work with kids and the crayons, I quite doing the crayons like a transfer. I let the kids color directly on the fabric I'm going to use. The clarity of the drawing is so much better.
I have made canvas bags with the crayons. Again, let the kids drawn directly on the fabric. Maybe fill in a bit if they aren't gettting good coverage.
