Abstract

A liquid non-poisonous, non-metallic, edible, water soluble coloring fluid fills a felt-tipped marker. A plastic box houses the marker or a plurality of the markers. A surface on the box receives the marks from the felt-tipped marker. In one embodiment, the box is in the form of a toy vehicle. In other embodiments, there may be a plurality of stencils which can be arranged in a scene or a scroll which may be rolled to display a selected scene. Then a tracing of the scene may be made on an overlaying sheet of transparent plastic. An eraser in the form of a sponge with a plastic handle may be made wet to wash away the marks.
