Yes, you will need a heat source, such as a standard household hairdryer, and paper or cardstock to draw on.

The pens themselves are designed for children's use. However, the process of puffing the ink requires a hairdryer, which necessitates adult supervision due to the heat involved.

These pens are formulated and intended for use on paper and cardstock. They may not work effectively or permanently on other surfaces like fabric.

Ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use. Try gently warming the tip in your hands or running the tip under warm water for a moment, then test on scrap paper. If still dry, the pen may be depleted.

Ensure the hairdryer is on a sufficient heat setting (low to medium). Keep the hairdryer moving to avoid scorching the paper, but ensure enough heat reaches the ink. Try holding the hairdryer closer (but not too close to burn). Check that the ink was applied thickly enough.

Allow the ink to dry for a minute or two after drawing before applying heat. Avoid touching the wet ink. Ensure the paper is flat and stable during the heating process.

Reduce the heat setting on the hairdryer. Increase the distance between the hairdryer and the artwork. Move the hairdryer more rapidly and consistently across the design.
