Crayola Glitter Dots Star Bookmark

Crayola came out with Glitter Dots in 2019. It is a revolutionary new way to play with glitter. The glitter is suspended in a dot of a squishy substance that will stick to surfaces and dry overtime. At this time Glitter dots can be used in plastic keychains to create a stain glass 3-D effect. They can be used on their own, or they can be used with Crayola's coloring pages made specifically for them. They can also be used in the 3D butterfly below. 

Even though there are several premade kits all the designs will end up different depending on what the kids want to make.

Mess Free Glitter Play with Crayola Glitter Dots

I first saw the Crayola Glitter Dots at Toy Fair 2019. Glitter Dots are basically balls of glitter that can be squished onto paper or as seen below keychains. Crayola also makes stencils and sparkle fill cards, ornaments, and signs. Here are the two sets that I tried with my kids, keychains and sparkle charms. I received them from Crayola in exchange for an honest review. This blog post also contains affiliate links.

8 Count Boxes: Pearl, Glitter and Metallic

 8 count boxes have always had a special place for collectors. There have been many standard 8 count boxes over the years and many special type boxes over the years. Crayola introduced Pick Your Pack at Target and later a similar version at Walmart as custom colors in an 8 count box. They have made special 8 count boxes for stores such at Target and Walmart and other companies. They made some special 8 count boxes for the Trolls, Finding Dory, and Minion movies and some special Disney boxes. 8 count boxes are cheaper than other boxes to make and still contain a good amount of colors.

Sometimes Crayola will make a 4 count box or 8 count box to test a certain idea. The public does not usually know why Crayola is coming out with special boxes, but they do a trial run. The glitter crayon special 8 count box came out in 2014. There are also special 8 count boxes for neons and the standard colors, but they are not as prevalent and I have not been able to get my hands on them yet. The glitter box first came out in a set of other art supplies. It then showed up at The Dollar Tree. The Metallic and Pearl crayons came out in 2019 in conjunction sold at Dollar Tree with the release of 24 count Metallic, Pearl, Glitter and Neon crayons. Those boxes are different colors, but the same font as these boxes. I like the colors of these boxes. I have a soft spot for 8 count themed boxes. I would love to get my hands on the neon and standard colors boxes from this line.

168 Crayola Crayon Tub Featuring Colors of the World Exclusive Collection

To say I was over the moon about the 168 Crayola Crayon Tub featuring Colors of the World Crayons is an understatement. I was over the moon times ten! I was even more excited when Crayola sent it to me after Sweet Suite before it was released in stores. It made my day times ten. Seriously whenever Crayola sends me a package its like it is my birthday or Christmas (since that is what I typically get for those holidays haha). Last birthday I got like 7 Crayola items from family...This is an honest review and I am super excited.

There is also a 240 crayon tub with the same design.

The crayon tub is available exclusively at walmart.com right now and will be in Walmart stores exclusively 10/12/2020. 

Ever since Crayola released their Pearl, Glitter, Metallic and Neon 24 count boxes I wondered if they would be incorporated into a larger crayon box. Crayola had the 150 crayon tower in 2009, then introduced the 152 ultimate crayon collection in 2013. Since the beginning of Crayola their boxes have been getting larger and larger (48, 64, 96, 120, 150, 152). There is a 200 crayon tub available, but the colors are not unique. I really hope a larger crayon box stays around because I think it would be great to include the new 24 Colors of the World crayons as standard crayons in the large crayon box.

What's In the Box

 The 168 Crayola Crayon Tub Exclusive Collection features 32 specialty crayons (7 glitter, 9 metallic, 8 confetti, and 8 pearl crayons), and 24 colors of the world crayons. The Confetti crayons are a new set of crayons released in 2020 based on the past box of Color Mix-Up crayons. I already took arranged them in color order. I integrated the Colors of the World with the rest of the colors.

The box features coloring book sleeves. The sleeves are mermaid, space, cabin, unicorn, miner, ice cream mountain, alien, boom box and space themed. There is a road or a river running on each sleeve that connects with the next sleeve. There are 5 different sleeve themes and 9 sleeves in the box. The 24 Colors of the World come in their own box.

What Did I Think?

I absolutely love the tub. It is super easy to close. The lid really locks when it is closed. It is made out of sturdy material. Once the crayons are dumped out their sleeves and that ALWAYS happens with kids it is nice to have a storage container to put the crayons in. That is what happens with crayons and other supplies in our house. They stay nice for a while and eventually end up all in a container mixed together.

I think it is a great idea to have a larger crayon box. I think it would be great to have the Colors of the World crayons and the pearl, glitter, metallic and neon crayons in a large crayon box for good. I would love to have all the extra specialty crayons in a box, almost 240 crayons. Having the Colors of the World crayons with the other crayons provides kids with the opportunity to use the vibrant colors from Crayola and put themselves in whatever imaginative world they create from jungles, to woods, to tropical locations, to every day locations of school, home, vacations etc.

If the larger box sticks around I might like a crayon tower or ultimate collection type of container to store them in maybe. I am torn because I do like the tub idea because it closes and the crayons would not accidentally get spilled all over like they do with the 152 crayon crayons. I understand there are limitations with one off designs (tooling to make a new container) and a tub is easy design solution to insert different number of sleeves into. The only reason I would want a unique box is the sleeves fit inside the box tight. I fixed that by putting one sleeve up with the Colors of the World crayons.

Collecting Information
This is a great box to collect. It may be around a long time, it may be around a short time, but it is a great piece of Crayola history especially with the new Colors of the World box.

2020 Crayola Take Note!

The Take Note! line is perhaps my favorite from Crayola. Why? Because it is the one I use the most. Take Note! has been around since 2018. That year they introduced gel pens and erasable highlighters. The next year in 2019 Crayola introduced Felt-Tip Pens, Highlighter Pens, Dry-Erase markers and Permanent Markers. My favorite was the Highlighter pens. I use these in my planner and to plan lessons, highlighting with one end and writing with the other. Sometimes in my planner I will write and highlight times and appointments. This year in 2020 Crayola has expanded even more introducing; Color Changing Pens, Erasable Highlighters Pastel Party, Fine Line Dry-Erase Markers and Glitter Highlighters. The color changing pens are dual ended.

I am so excited for the expansion of this line! I think I'm most excited for the Glitter Highlighters. The only thing I would change about this line is to have normal color names, not fun ones like Love You so Matcha and Little Black Dress.

2019 NEW Crayola COLORS Review and 24 Crayons

2019 was a very exciting year for Crayola crayons because of the Glitter, Metallic, Neon and Pearl 24 count boxes. The boxes included new color names, 72 to be exact.  It is interesting this release did not get much publicity because it is probably THE MOST EXCITING art supply Crayola released in 2019.
