Crayola Vote for Your Favorite Crayon Color

Does anything smell better than a bunch of crayons? 🙂 Do people still get excited to open a brand new box of crayons? That was a huge highlight for me when I was little and starting a new school year! Oh, to think of all the things those crayons were going to color! 🙂 I spotted these crayons yesterday in a local store and saw that you can vote for your favorite color!

Oooo, how do you pick ONE favorite color?! 😉 There are sooo many great colors!

If you would like to participate in the voting, there is a QR code on the back of the box that will take you to the right website for voting. Or you can visit http://www.crayola.com/votenow.

Here’s what you’ll find at the website:

If you would like to vote, you’ll need to hurry! Voting closes on September 30, 2025. (Sorry I didn’t find this sooner!)

Happy Voting! I’m still trying to decide which color is my favorite… 😉

“Hello, I’m a Quokka” Online Event

I just came across the Crayola Education Facebook page and saw that they will be hosting a fun online event for kids! It centers around the book “Hello, I’m a Quokka” and it’s happening tomorrow, September 4, 2024 at 7:00pm Eastern.

https://www.facebook.com/share/tH9joUSLsMa1Kw8J/?mibextid=9l3rBW

If you can’t make it at that specific time, the event will be recorded and you can find it later on the Crayola Education Facebook page or YouTube page later.

I’ve never seen a Quokka in person but wow, they are cute! They look like they are always smiling! Should be a fun event for families! 😃

Here’s a picture from the Facebook page…

New Crayola Crayons!

I spotted a new type of Crayola crayons while shopping the other day! Of course, I had to buy a pack and try them out. They are called Swirl Crayons.

Here’s the description from the back of the box: “Crayola Swirl Crayons contain hidden specks of color swirled in for a surprising stripey, streaky effect!” After coloring a picture, I would agree that that is true. 🙂 But first I want to tell you that each crayon also has a fun name. There are names like Meteor Shower…

Summertime…

And Raindrops, just to mention a few.

I got a page from a coloring book to try out these new crayons.

Can you see the fun streaks of a different color that show up when you color with these swirl crayons?

I hope you can see the special flecks and streaks that show up.

This type of crayon is fun to use and it’s a surprise what flecks or streaks of color might show up to add that extra special something to your picture. 🙂 The colors in the box are not the basic colors needed for school, but the Crayola Swirl Crayons are a great addition to fun art projects at home. 🙂

World Kindness Day 2023

I just found out that today is World Kindness Day! Wouldn’t it be great if each one of us could do something nice for someone today, just because? Maybe you could set a new goal that you will do something nice for someone else at least once every day! 🙂

I received an email from the Crayola company today and I wanted to share some of their information with you to help you make this a great World Kindness Day.

On the Crayola website, at crayola.com, you can find so many fun things to do! Lots of crafting ideas, gift ideas, coloring pages and more! There’s a special coloring page today for World Kindness Day.

Did you know there are Colors of Kindness crayons which would be perfect for doing some coloring today?

On the Crayola website, there is also a Clothespin Kindness Art Project! These fun clothespins would be great for any day and any time of year.

So what can you do for World Kindness Day? How about helping mom or dad with some household chores? You could color a nice picture and share it with someone. You could be the first one to share your beautiful smile with someone you meet or be the first to say “hello!”. Maybe you could hold the door open for someone, share a hug, give someone an honest compliment, call someone on the phone just to say “I was thinking about you!” and so many more things! I bet if you put on your thinking cap, you could think of MANY, MANY nice things you could do!

If you are reading this post, then I think YOU are awesome! 🙂 Happy World Kindness Day from me to you! 🙂

Another New (to me) Kind of Crayons

As you might know if you’ve been following my blog for a while, I like to keep an eye out for new kinds of Crayola crayons. Today I found another kind that I haven’t seen before and I had to get some. 😉 They are the Crayola Bold & Bright Construction Paper Crayons. (Love the box!)

Take a peek inside the box…

Here’s the lineup:

And a closer look at those amazing colors!

Here’s the description from the Crayola website: “Crayola Bold & Bright Construction Paper Crayons make coloring on colored craft paper a breeze! Kids will love finally seeing their works of art pop, no matter what backdrop they choose. This set of art tools features 24 vibrant, creamy crayons in both primary and secondary colors. Bold and bright tones give children a rainbow of hues to choose from. Unique formula produces extra bold results, these crayons appear on construction paper, paper bags, cardboard, and more! Pair with a pack of Crayola Construction Paper (sold separately) for a great bundled gift for kids. Safe and nontoxic, ideal for ages 3 and up.”

Just to compare the Construction Paper crayons to the Classic crayons, take a look at these. (Sorry, some of my Classic crayons are well loved and used!) Classic on the top row and Construction Paper on the bottom row…matching up the crayon colors with the same name.

Here is a comparison sample of those 6 crayon pairs on a piece of blue construction paper.

I’m not sure if the picture shows the difference very well or not, but the Construction Paper crayons have great color and a smooth feel when you use them. I’m a new fan of the Construction Paper crayons and look forward to spending some quality time with them! 😉

Happy National Crayon Day!

Or Colors of Kindness…

Confetti…

Glitter…

Pastel…

Pearl…

Uni-crayons…

Cosmic…

And who can resist a big box of 96 crayons?! Wow! 🙂

So whatever crayon colors or styles you like, I hope you’ll get out some crayons today and have some fun coloring! 🙂

More Cool Crayons!

If you have been following me for very long, you know that I love crayons! And I love finding new kinds and colors of crayons. Soooo here’s another box of Crayola crayons that I am enjoying! Presenting Crayola Colors of Kindness Crayons!

The outside of the box shows you the colors of the crayons that are inside the box.

Just look at all those gorgeous colors! 🙂

Each crayon has the words “Colors of Kindness” on it.

Then each crayon has 2 names! One is a…well, we will call it the “kindness name”. There are fun names like “breathe deep”, “life is gouda”, “you’re so a-peel-ing”, “kind to the core” and “have a scoop of fun!”

If you roll the crayon over just a bit, you’ll find the other name. Like “turquoise blue”, “macaroni and cheese”, “banana mania”, “granny smith apple” and “pink sherbert”.

Here are a couple of my favorite names: “oatmeal”. 😉

“robin’s egg blue”. Such a pretty color!

And just one more…”inchworm”. Haha! Did that make you think of a little green inchworm? 😉

You and the kids can have fun reading all the great names on the crayons and then enjoy coloring a great picture with these amazing Color of Kindness crayons! 🙂

Crayola Confetti Crayons

Have you tried the Crayola Confetti Crayons yet? They really are quite fun! I found them at a Walmart store. I would say they are an inexpensive box of fun!

As you can see from the writing on the box, there are 24 crayons included. The box also says “Bursting bits of color! Each Crayola Confetti Crayon has specks of color inside for surprising streaks and a party in every crayon!”

The crayons have some pretty awesome names too! Like party fish…

Or meteor shower or new year’s eve or rain drops… It’s fun just reading the name on each crayon!

Take a look at all the crayons that look mostly white.

Buuuut….surprise!! Look what it looks like when you start coloring with them!

Pretty cool, right?! Coloring is so much fun because you don’t know when a streak will show up or what color the streak might be! 🙂 Can you see the colorful streaks in this picture?

Let’s look a little closer…look at the colors in this bird.

You can see the streaks in the girl’s skate and in the green bush and the colorful flowers.

The colors look much better in person, of course! 😉 Crayola Confetti Crayons are a lot of fun in one small box! 🙂

New Crayola Crayons Collections

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to receive was a new box of crayons! I felt that excited sensation again the other day when I came across some new collections of Crayola crayons! I found these at the Dollar Tree store and some of them I haven’t seen any place else so far.

Let’s take a minute and look at what is inside each box. 🙂 Each box contains 8 crayons.

#1.) Glitter Crayons. Colors included in this box are: berry blast, crimson clash, campfire flicker, sun shower, gritty green, blue blazes, poppin’ purple and black gold. The crayons are sparkly.

#2.) Pastel Crayons. The colors included in this box are: carnation pink, canary, spring green, sea green, apricot, sky blue, periwinkle and purple mountains’ majesty.

#3.) Pearl Crayons. The crayons in this box have some cool names too: hot cocoa, orange peel, apple orchard, shooting star, caribbean sea, cloudy sky, lavender silk and black pearl. Just listening to the color names makes me want to start coloring! 😉

#4.) Uni-crayons. These must be for coloring unicorns? Here are the colors in this box: maroon, red-orange, yellow, pine green, blue, carnation pink, silver and gold. Gotta have silver and gold for unicorn horns, right?

#5.) Cosmic Crayons. This kind I did see at Walmart in a box of 24 crayons. Colors in this box include: wild strawberry, yellow orange, yellow, jungle green, sky blue, pacific blue, hot magenta and orchid.

These crayons are so much fun! They would make a great addition to a craft bag for traveling or a goodie bag after a birthday party. Or maybe send some to those grandkids that live far away. Whatever you do with them, I hope they will bring lots of fun to someone! 🙂
