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!

    fav crayola memory? hmm… that’s a tough one since there’s so many uses… i remember how excited my sisters and I were graduating from crayons to color pencils and then the actual markers…

    My favorite mem of crayola crayons was the “new” sharpener that they came out with in the 64 color box. I loved unwrapping the worn down crayon and sharpening it like new!

    I am the younger of my parents’ two children and I always got used crayons that were broken or really short from extensive use–my favorite crayola memory was those markers they had that were really stamps at the end–they had a few different themed packs, I just loved those–I think it sparked my interest in scrapbooking now as an adult.

    My favorite memories would probably be coloring with my grandma and drawing on the side walk outside in the nice weather. :)

    my favorite memory is taking all the crayons out of the box and organizing them by color. i did this periodically. why i am i not more organized now?!

  13. sarah

    Favorite memory of crayola- was getting a fresh box– I saved up my own money to buy the big box with a sharpener–and thought i was so COOL! :)

  14. Vicky H.

    I just remember how awesome of a kid you were if you were one of those “cool” enough to have the 64-pack with the sharpener. Everyone wanted to be your friend thanks to that. LoL!

  15. Li

    i used to love when my dad brought home coloring books with the crayola crayons and we would color together no matter how tired he was

  17. Melissa

    I loved using my Crayola crayons (they are the best) especially the 96 pack with the built-in crayon sharpener on the back…I would color my Holly Hobby coloring books – but who am I kidding, I still love to color!

    THANKS for the opportunity to win!

  18. Melissa

    My favorite memory of Crayola is the smell of crayons in the first days of elementary school. I’ll still grab my son’s box occasionally and am instantly transported back to childhood! :)

    I just remember finding SILVER as a new color when I got the ‘big box’ of Crayolas – then I could color jewelry and sparkly things!!!

    When I was in like 6th grade my Halloween picture was chosen to decorate a window at our local McDonald’s with Halloween pictures. We got to go with our Art teacher one day and paint a giant version of our picture on the window with Crayola paints. I thought I was the bomb!
