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!

The Crayola Creativity Pack includes:
- 24-ct. Crayola Crayons, the quintessential back-to-school tool that kids love for their vibrant colors.

I used to love the art class each year that you had to draw something on the black paper to reveal the color underneath now crayola has made it accessible everyday!

When I was 6 years old I was bit by a dog and had to go to the hospital. Shortly after my family went on a trip and I still had stitches. My siblings went swimming which to us was a big deal. My Mom went and purchased me a Barbie coloring book and Crayola crayons. I ended up having one of the best vacations.
