Back in March, Sherry Holetzky included Crayola Color Wonder in her Kids Crafts blog about cool craft products. However, my family just loves these products so much that we felt they deserved their own article. Everyone knows Crayola as probably the most popular brand of crayons, constantly coming out with new colors and even larger boxes. But Crayola has come up with this amazing product that claims to be mess-free and easy to do anywhere. Yes, parents, Color Wonder products are just about one of the most innovative creative tools of our children’s time.
The trick to the Crayola Color Wonder products is that the special markers and finger paints only show up on special Color Wonder paper. Your child can color on anything else to his or her delight, and the only thing that may show up is a wet spot. This works great for us because our daughter is just about to turn two, but we hesitate to give her crayons because she tries to eat them. With the Color Wonder markers, we just hand them to her and she is content drawing on the paper. Sometimes, she will turn to the back of the book and just draw on the cardboard over. Of course, no color appears, but she is just happy to see the lines that are made from the wetness of the marker.
Crayola Color Wonder products that are available just about anywhere you can buy Crayola products are the finger paints and markers. There are also buy theme packages, like Dora the Explorer or Cars, which come with a Color Wonder notebook and four to six markers or a set of finger paints with colors that are relevant to the notebook’s theme. You can even buy a set of markers or a set of finger paints by themselves as refills.
There is also another Color Wonder product of which I have just been made aware. The Color Wonder Sprayer is an airbrush kit that works with special Color Wonder sprayer cartridges that look like markers. It works the same way as any other kids airbrush machine, but it makes less mess because the colors do not get on everything. It comes with stencils and some cartridges. You can also buy the cartridge refills and other kits that come with stencils and one Color Wonder marker.
So the next time you are trying to think of a great gift for a young child, think about Crayola Color Wonder products. Take our family for example: our daughter used to want to eat crayons, but now that she has Color Wonder markers, she does not need crayons for now. Plus, she is learning how to hold writing utensils and she is learning how to draw. You can’t lose with Color Wonder products!
