Crayola "Inside the Crayon Box" & Huge Prize Pack Giveaway #MyBlogSpark

Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they´re inviting parents "Inside the Crayon Box," for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child´s creative thinking.


The first chat took place on 3/7 with Crayola and musician, children´s author and mom, Lisa Loeb. They hosted a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit "Stay (I Missed You),"shared personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter. I was unable to attend the chat due to a prior engagement, but I have heard only good things about it. You can still check out the chat on the Crayola You Tube Page.

Also, be sure to check out Lisa´s book Lisa Loeb´s Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs (Sterling Children´s Books, 2011) available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Sing, laugh, and play with pop Lisa in this fabulous collection of ten of the silliest songs ever. Fun activities, games, and recipes accompany whimsical songs. Take Lisa's Silly Sing-Along with you wherever you go and get the high-spirited good times started. Includes a 10-song CD recorded by Lisa!



In addition to the "Inside the Crayon Box" program, crayola also introduced some fun new products perfect for toddlers. Here is a list if the items we got to try out.

• My First Crayola Washable Crayons, Markers & Stampers: just the right size and shape for little hands, toddlers can create bright and colorful designs with no caps to lose or no messy ink pads 

• Crayola Mess Free Color Wonder Tiny Tube: with over 10 ft of coloring, perforated activity pages, a carry-along handle and the ability to store markers inside, kids can color at home or on the road; markers magically appear only on the special Color Wonder paper, not on skin

• Crayola Crystal Effect Window Markers: turn an ordinary window or mirror into a colorful crystal canvas and create amazing effects on an unexpected surface that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth

• Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope Chalk: experience sidewalk art in amazing new ways, by drawing designs, putting on the 3D Kaleidoscope glasses and watching as creations pop up off the ground

• Crayola Dry-Erase Bright Crayons: a dry-erase drawing and writing tool for kids that’s washable, smudge-proof, odorless, and will never dry out

• Crayola Dual-Sided Dry Erase Board: a two-sided board that makes it fun and colorful to share eye-popping messages or track soccer schedules

 My daughter had a ball playing with these items. They are easy to hold, won't stain clothes and provide hours of entertainment. I especially love the dry erase board because Willow can scribble on on it again and again instead of using up all my typing paper.  She also loves the character shapes on the markers. My older kids had a ball with the 3D Chalk with the kaleidoscope glasses.
