"This is like my Birthday!" This is what my six-year old son said when we opened up the package from Crayola. He was thrilled to see all the goodies but noticed that it was addressed to me - so he thought they were mine. After I told him they were his, he was immediately ecstatic again.
He took each item out of the box like he's never seen crayons or markers before. It really was cute.
So this is what we received from My Blog Spark and Crayola:
24-ct. Crayola Crayons, the quintessential back-to-school tool that kids love for their vibrant colors, and moms and teachers choose for superior quality and value
10-ct. Crayola Markers, with an array of consistent, true colors to complete any task
12-ct. Crayola Colored Pencils, which come pre-sharpened with thick, strong lead made to tackle touch projects and art activities
Crayola Pip-Squeaks Colored Pencils and Glitter Glue, which give children big color in a small size and are perfect for jazzing up art projects with bright, bold, shimmering colors
Crayola Window Crayons, to help let your little ones transform glass surfaces into instant decorations with bright colors that lay down smoothly, dry quickly, and wipe clean with a damp cloth
Tadoodles Washable Crayon Buddies, which are colorful little characters that hold a triangular-shaped crayon that twists up when the tip wears down - perfect for little hands!
Crayola Color Explosion Black Extreme Surprises, which comes complete with a stencil sheet and two Broad Tip Color Explosion clear ink markers that reveal a different surprise design as they´re colored on 18-page tablet
Crayola Color Switchers, which are dual-ended markers that allow kids to magically change the colors of their drawings with a swoosh of the "color switch" tip
My son said his favorites are the Crayola Window Crayons and the Crayola Color Explosion Black Extreme Surprises. My french doors are covered with his beautiful creations and my fridge is covered with more than a half dozen works of art created using these great Crayola products.
According to my son (and the only negative thing he had to say), the Tadoodles Washable Crayon Buddies were for babies - and he's a big boy. However, my sister-in-law is expecting a baby in December so we'll give them to her.
This Crayola CreativityCast - provides hours of fun for any child... from the young to the young at heart. The name Crayola is trusted, tried and true. We love Crayola in our house and are certain that you do too.
My son says that you should get the Window Crayons and the Color Explosion Black Extreme Surprises for your sons and daughters. Oh, and he says all the Crayola gifts he received are "cool", he just likes those two the best.
All these Crayola products make great gift ideas for birthdays or Christmas. What better gift than to provide a child with tools to exercise their creativity.
