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 once I wrote all over the walls with my Crayolas. It didn’t make for a happy parent, but boy did I have fun!

    When Crayola put the sharpener in the back of the crayon box. I would sharpen my crayons even if they didn’t need it.

    I remember getting new crayons and not wanting to use them all at once because they were so pretty and sharp. I’m a strange one.

    My favorite memory of Crayola is as a child I used Crayola markers and finger paints on butcher paper that my mom spread out on the sidewalk to keep us busy during the summer. It was so much fun to be able to write on such big pieces of paper!!!

    My best memory ,or first super one anyway,lol, was in school when one of my teachers shared a trick with crayons where you could get a cool looking bottle,melt the crayons and drop or pour the wax all around the bottle and let it drip down in various patterns.I made my mom one and brought it home to her,protecting it as of it were gold.I have since taught my kids and grands to do this.To this day my bottle i gave mom is displayed proudly (and faded) on top of one of her tables! 35+ years later…
    thanks crayola!

    I remember when I was a kid, we use to have a big black lab. I remember my dog always eating our crayons and the next was so much fun for us to see him poop rainbow colors. Sounds gross but I was five.

    I love Crayolas. I still secretly color sometimes…it calms me down when I’m upset :)
    I use to color with my frinds all the time and I can remember one hot summer day when we left my crayons in the window sill and they melted. I was devestated. My dad told me that it was okay because it made one big colorful crayon. It was pretty cool.

  26. Shelly Powell

    My favorite Crayola memory is coloring with my sister all the time on my grandma’s front porch. Those were the days:)
