We went to a restaurant with DD this weekend and the waitress gave her some crayons. She seemed to understand the idea of coloring, I finally had to take the crayons away because she kept eating them. I'm considering a magma doodle or something similar so she can't eat the writing utensil! Do you all think she's still a little young?
Re: What age did LO enjoy coloring?
My BFP Chart
She is young. Revisit the idea at 16 to 18 months. My oldest didn't get the concept until about 2.5 years old.
There are some cute markers and special paper by crayola where the markers won't mark on anything other than the paper. However, they have to hold the markers just right before they show up on the paper.
DD has just really gotten into crayons and coloring within this last month, but still takes a nibble here and there when I'm not looking...it's a work in progress

We do both crayon coloring and stickers over here, and DS seems to enjoy it. However, he LOVES bath tub crayons. I'd start there, because for whatever reason it is much more fun that coloring book crayon drawings.
(Although I still think we're teaching him to color on furniture and walls that way- we'll see if it bites us later on!)

DD was around 10 months. As soon as the crayon got near her mouth I told her, "No eat" and she stopped.
She loves coloring and doing stickers still today.
