Then I'd be careful with crayons and even more careful with oil pastels. They both tend to break, get dropped, and get trod upon. Not carpet friendly. Markers are somewhat better, but tend to get on hands, and then get transferred elsewhere.

Pencil erasures vacuum up fairly easily, but take that into consideration too.


Good luck.
