I’m guessing that like me, you prefer to buy from well-known and trusted brands. If I have a choice between a brand that’s been around since I was a child and something that just came out, I’m generally going to gravitate towards the brand I know and trust. That’s certainly the case with Crayola. They’ve been around as long as I can remember, and they have only improved on their quality and reliability over the years!
Do you remember your first Crayola product? Was it the chunky triangle crayons? Colored Pencils? Modeling Clay? Paint? I always loved the 64 box of crayons with the sharpener inside the box. Crayola products are a great choice for Christmas gifts for kids of any age on your list this year, and they probably have something you’d like for yourself too. The product line offers a little bit of something for everyone.
If you look at the Crayola website, you’ll find all sorts of fun gift ideas for ages toddler to teen, and even some things for adults. Crayons make great teacher gifts – Crayola makes large classroom packs of crayons that teachers would love to be gifted for Christmas this year. Teachers (and homeschooling parents) will also love the lesson plans and creative activity ideas they can find on the site. Crayola has recently added a shopping cart feature as well, so it’s easy to get whatever you need right there. Don’t forget that a brand new box of crayons is always a great stocking stuffer!
Crayola doesn’t just make art supplies either – they have toys like bubbles, chalk, jewelry making kits, and light designers, and they even have toys that come with apps! The company has truly evolved over time. A perfect example of this is the Virtual Design Pro Car Collection. This awesome toy makes me wish I was a kid again so someone would give it to me for Christmas!
The kit comes with 20-page sketchbook, 36 Crayola Colored Pencils, pencil sharpener, 20 markers, four stencils, Design & Drive app, and case. The budding artist/designer uses these tools to draw and design cars for racing. Then, with the help of mom and dad, he (or she – girls like cars too!) scans them into the app, and can complete stunts, races, and other fun activities on the virtual track.
Pretty awesome, isn’t it? I can’t imagine any child who wouldn’t love to get this as a Christmas present!
Do you create with Crayola? What’s your favorite product?
Disclosure: Special thanks to Crayola for sending some wonderful sample products our way. All thoughts, opinions, nostalgia and general love of Crayola products is that of Rural Mom.
I think this looks like an awesome product and I see they also have a virtual fashion show which would be great for my grand daughter. I love creative products that can be found with the Crayola name on it.
We certainly agree! Thanks for stopping by Grace!
Crayola has the coolest stuff. I didn’t realize that they had Bubble Guppies Color Wonder coloring books. I’m going to have to find one for my little boy. He loves Bubble Guppies. I love Color Wonder because then I don’t have to worry as much about messes.
It is such a great product that Crayola has developed there! So nice not to have to worry about the mess, for sure!
