Crayola Keeps Making Fun Gift Ideas
We love being a Crayola Family. Caitlyn LOVES art and thanks to Crayola we have had many a fun after school when she and her friends happily try out the new products. The last two have been a HUGE hit. This one in particular. The MESS FREE Colour Wonder set has been a hit […]
Crayola for Christmas
Just because we are an ‘official’ Crayola family does not make me bias. We do like Crayola products here. Their huge variety of activity sets are at a great price point for ‘treats’ and ‘extras’ at Christmas. The sample stuff that has been sent for our families ‘reviews’ have been great for the rainy […]

And the Camera accessory […]
More Crayola Fun to Check Out
Long before Crayola ever contacted us about being on their board, we have found ourselves buying a LOT of their products. And not just crayons, pens etc. I find their various themed kits to be great time fillers and peace makers in our house or away on trips, visits etc. Granted the odd products […]
Crayola Reviews by the Crunch Children
So you may have noticed the new widget over on the side. A while back I was asked to be part of the Crayola ‘Mom Advisory Panel.’ Being that my kids are HUGE crayola users they freaked about this. They REALLY freaked when the first box of stuff arrived the other day.
