I've cut small pieces of cardboard from the puzzle box to put under. Which would be better for coloring the cardboard?

    Yesterday, I learned that Sears here in Fort Wayne is closing this fall. I shop at Sears, bought many shirts, swimsuits, etc there over my lifetime, in addition to bedding. I'm 26 right now.
