I am making ornaments for my grandson's class using the clear plastic disc from Michaels. I'm not sure if Sharpies or acrylic paint is the way to go. Any suggestions?Thanks!!!

The acrylic paint would probably show up best.

Acrylic paint will be better on that surface and the colors will be brighter.
