Visual attention: Notice characters, objects, and details within each scene.

What Supplies Are Needed?

You only need a few basic supplies.

Printer (I have this one)
Paper
Pencil
Crayons, colored pencils, or markers

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Consider another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
