Artistic Inspiration Giveaway: Crayola Creativity Packs

by

CrayolaCreativitycast_LOGO

New Crayola Crayons were one of my favorite back-to-school supplies as a kid. There was just something about a brand new pack of shiny, multi-colored crayons that inspired me to want to create colorful images of hearts and rainbows and all things sparkly and pretty that the imaginations of young girls conjure up. That waxy scent still takes me right back to the first day of 2nd grade, kind of like the smell of Playdoh reminds me of rainy day fun. . .

I’m so glad that Crayola products have stood the test of time and are now inspiring a new generation of imaginations. And I’m happy to share with you about how you can join in the fun!

Every Tuesday night through the month of August, Crayola is sponsoring “Girls Night Out” on Twitter – the mommy social gathering featuring colorful and engaging discussions on all things back-to-school. Crayola has teamed up with MomItForward.com, the creator of “Girls Night Out” (GNO), to bring you the “Crayola Creativitycast.” The weekly series of GNO discussions will feature a new topic each week like “Affordable Fun 101” and “Back to School Survival Guide,” and all GNO participants will have the chance to win great prizes!

For more details about tonight’s #GNO chat and how to participate, go here.

Don’t worry if you’ve already got plans during these events – you also have the opportunity to win one of four Crayola Creativity Packs right here on Deal Seeking Mom!

    My favorite memory is when I was sitting at the table with my brother coloring as many pictures as we could. We were maybe 6-7 yeras old at the time.

    My favorite Crayola memory is using the crayons to color every book that I owned!! Boy, was my mom mad!

  6. Tina

    I remember the scented crayons as a kid. Grass was my favorite. What could be better than coloring grass on a page and it actually smelling like grass?

    I won an art contest in 1st grade using Crayola crayons. I colored on sandpaper cut out in the shape of an egg and then the teacher helped me iron a transfer of the design onto another page, so they were mirror images. Because I won for the whole school my crayola egg was sent to the area mall for display. This is special to me because I had a photo taken with my mother in front of the egg and she passed away 3 weeks later. It is framed and sitting on my dining room buffet, my mom, me and my Crayola egg!

    I remember getting my new box of crayons every year for school and being so careful not to break one. I always cherished my new box of crayons. Still today I have my own “special box of crayons”, and every time my little ones break their crayons they ask “mommy, can I use your special crayons”? It’s so cute to watch how carefully they handle mommy’s crayons, even after they have broken theirs, they handle them like gold. This is my favorite crayola memory. : )

    hmmm I still use crayola crayons for coloring….I guess that still makes me a kid at heart :) Crayola was and is always my crayon of choice. I loved my coloring books growing up so I just remember sitting at the kitchen table and coloring away!

  12. Tina

    Oops…forgot to add I’m a new subscriber as well! Can you tell I really want this set for my 19 month old? ;)

  15. Jean

    I remember going to my grandma’s house and coloring with her for hours. She always made sure I had new Crayola Crayons.

    My previous post should read I am a subscriber :)

    Favorite Memory – getting to color with markers. My mom didn’t like the potential mess, so that was a real treat! (Maybe they weren’t washable back then…)

  19. Sherri Kramer

    My favorite memory is when I was a kid and my brother melted a box all together. What a great mess!

  20. Samina

    Subscriber for several months who’s learning a lot from your blog. Thanks! I guess I’m still a kid at heart because I still love a new pack of crayons – they hold so much promise!

    When I think of Crayola, I think of back to school shopping. I always looked forward to getting new crayons, markers, and color pencils for the new school year. Of course, I had to make sure to get the 64 color box so I could have as many colors as possible. A girl never knows when she’s going to need 3 different shades of pink!

  24. Diana Cross

    I have always loved to color using Crayola colors. I still do. My 2 year and I always fight over them when coloring. He always wants to use the colors I am using!

  26. Mokey

    I still get tingles when September rolls around. Playing school with my brothers and sisters and neighbors during the summer definitely brought good times with crayola products! And it must have worked, because I became a school teacher.

  28. Melissa

    I would love when my mom would buy me a big box of Crayola crayons! I always remember trying my best to stay in the lines
    when I would color in my coloring books.
