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!

    I remember when we found out we could chop crayons up and iron them between two sheets of wax paper. Talk about a waxy smell! It was a perfect way to spend the day indoors making pretty waxy art!

    My fav Crayon memory would have to be the BIG box of crayons with the “cool” sharper in the back and lots of paper to just draw whatever I wanted. I love Crayola!!!

    i remember as a kid that my mom and i would sit down and color care bear coloring sheets. she would get me the big boxes with tons of colors. it also a sharpener built into the box, that was the coolest i thought.

    I remember I got Crayola markers for Christmas one year, but I used them to mark on the wall. Well, the New Year’s Man came and took the markers away. Of course, a few months later I found them on the fridge.

    When I was little I took a nice blue Crayola crayon and drew all over the bathroom wall. When I was done I realized I would get in trouble so I wrote “by Will” (my brother’s name). I thought for sure it was the perfect cover up. I got nailed for it later when my mom pointed out that I had written “by Mill” – I had 2 “M’s” in my name and had not yet mastered the art of the “W” – oh well… great memory at least! :)

    When I was little we used to get new crayons in our stockings at Grandma & Grandpa’s house. When we got old enough in Grandma’s eyes we “graduated” to markers. It was always a big deal in our family to see who Grandma graduated each Christmas. It is now a tradition my parents have carried on with our children!

    I just registered to your forums page. I can’t wait to dig in here and see what I can find! Thanks for a great page!

    I had a favorite color. It was Lemon Yellow. It loved the color! It was a soft yellow, not harsh. I was sad when it was discontinued.

  27. Michelle M

    I (regrettably) loved coloring on my favorite books with crayons. I still have the marked up books!

  29. Kirsten

    I loved that the Crayola products are washable for whenever my kids drew on things they shouldn’t have. Thanks for the chance!
