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 remembe getting the big 64 pack of crayola crayons every year at Christmas.I would always search through my gifts to make sure they were there.Thanks!

    I loved opening up new school supplies to start a project. Art was always a safe place for me to express myself. There is nothing better than a new box of crayons. I still can’t resist picking up a box when I see them on sale.

  6. Amber

    I rememeber a kid that I would take forever to draw a tree. I would sit with my big box of crayons and draw the branches and trunk and then I would use all the different greens in the crayons to draw individual leafs switching the greens for different leafs.

    Favorite memory? The SMELL of crayons! Sends me back every single time my boys bring their crayon boxes out. :) And just ’cause…my second favorite memory is melting crayons at camp to add color to the candles we were making.

  16. Jen

    I loved using the fine tip markers to write notes to my friends – we’d use a different color on each line, just for fun. . . .

    I used to take the shavings from the crayons and put them in a babyfood jar with water….
    and I LOVED actually coloring with them too.

  20. JULIE

    I use to love to make a design with elmers glue & then sprinkle crayon shavings over it like glitter.

  23. Mishia

    I remember popping open my box of crayola crayons on the first day of school and coloring my little heart out.

  24. Dara

    I guess Im weird I loved unwrapping them and using the sides to color the whole page and than would take black and cover it and scratch off the black. Always though it was cool to find the “hiden Picture!”
