NEW Mildliner Highlighter Colors: Gentle Pack

I was so excited to hear that Zebra was coming out with a new package of Mildliners this year 2023. They are the "Gentle" mildliners. The colors are: Baby Pink, Honey Orange, Sherbet Yellow, Soda Blue and Lilac. This will make for a total of 35 mildliner colors available in the United States right now. There is one color Rose Pink that is not available yet. I am super excited to have them and have already started planning with them.

The only place to find these right now is Target with the neutral colors. They should be available other places later this year.

Here are the swatches for the colors. They are super light and provide a subtle highlight.

Here are the Gengle Mildliner colors with the names.

Crayola Lip Smacker Lip Balm and Lip Gloss

Crayola likes to sneak in product collaborations all the time. I discovered the Lip Smacker collaboration when I was shopping at Target. I tried to find every box they put out. Lip Smacker made lip balm and lip gloss with Crayola names starting in 2019. There are a couple more 3 packs out there, but they were 20 bucks each on eBay and I was not about to pay that much. Haha. I love the colors and the names. There are even more items from the Lip Smacker/Crayola collaboration, an egg for Easter, a collectible tin for Christmas, and two other themed 3 count lip balms. I ordered a few of those and will add those to this post when I get them.

Crayola Color Wonder: Trolls World Tour, Baby Shark, Puppy Dog Pals, Fancy Nancy

It seems like it was a different a different world when I saw Crayola at the Toy Fair just a few short weeks ago. So much has changed. Our school is now closed for now and my kids are learning at home. We received the Color wonder to review and I am sooooo glad. My kids have been soaking it up. They especially love all the fun hidden designs on the page.

What's in the box and how does it work?

This year Color Wonder came out with a small Activity Pad and an envelope this year. The big envelope is reclosable for easy storage. Many of the coloring books from Crayola are licensed characters, ie characters from movies and tv shows. We were super excited to receive the Trolls coloring book because they movie is coming out soon! The envelopes come with 5 markers and 18 coloring pages. The activity pads come with 3 markers and 16 coloring pages.

Color Wonder markers paper and markers are magical. The markers only work with on color wonder paper. The paper contains a chemical that reacts with the marker ink. It would be a great science lesson too for the kids. Because right now I am looking for anything educational. The ink is clear if it is drawn on anything else.

Here is my small daughter coloring. She loves Color Wonder pages and so do I because they do not get the whole house and herself dirty. Currently she loves to color on herself...

What Did We Think?
We loved Color Wonder. There was a great variety of colors that came in the packs. We loved all the characters in each book. The hidden designs were my kids favorite part. They colored the whole page so they could see what was underneath. I love Color Wonder because it does not leave ink stains on anything else, it only colors on the paper. It is especially good for young colorists that color on everything.

I liked the activity pages too because even though the activity pads were smaller than the envelopes the pages were still a decent size. The 2016 edition came in book form, which was great for storing the markers, but the pages were smaller. I definitely like the bigger pages.

Here is what we colored.

My son colored this, his favorite color is red.

Here are all the other books available. We are loving Frozen II in this house! My little girl dances around to it all day. That would be a great activity, listening to music and coloring the corresponding book at the same time.

Here is the product information.

Product and Collecting Information

Crayola changed the Color wonder design. They made it more of a white background overall and emphasized the Mess Free feature of the markers.

Review: Crayola Color Wonder Scented Stampers and Markers

The cool thing about the Color Wonder line is it only colors on special paper. That way the marker does not stain everything around the house. Crayola Color Wonder has been around for a while, but this year Crayola introduced scented color wonder markers and a scented color wonder stamping pad. Crayola sent me the new scented Color Wonder set to review and we loved it, especially my son.

What Comes In the Box?
Here is the back of the box showing all the contents. The set includes 5 scented markers; cherry, blueberry, orange, lime, and banana, 1 chocolate scented stamp pad, 5 stamp pads: donuts, lollipop, ice cream cone, cookie, and cupcake, 1 stamp holder, and 12 sheets of Color Wonder paper.

How Does It Work?

Color Wonder ink only reacts with color wonder paper. It appears clear at first and then the color transforms to whatever color was used. I used both markers and the stamp pad to color the page below. Any color wonder markers can be used with the set, but they will not be scented.

What Did I Think?
Color Wonder is really neat. My son LOVED it and kept begging to color more pages. He loved the way the color appeared before his eyes magically. It worked out really good because we had to take a road trip and it entertained him wonderfully. Here is one of the pages he colored.

He has had other color wonder sets, the character sets and a Planes coloring book. He liked this one the best because he got to create his own images and color everything the color he wanted.

One of the things I would change about this set is to include more paper, it only comes with 12 sheets. I would also make the sheets easily removable from the pad. I have two kids and they both wanted to color at the same time. We ended up tearing and cutting some sheets out.

Do I think Color Wonder is worth it? Definitely, it is a great sensory activity for kids. If it were up to me I would emphasize the Magic Ink more than Mess Free because honestly it is not very hard to clean up washable markers. I just cleaned up some red Silly Scents off the kids coloring station today with just water. I had to use windex for the pencil markers. My kids LOVED that it magically appeared.

Crayola Tri-Color Markers: What's In the Box

The Washable Tri-Color Markers are very neat markers, there are three tips in one. They are similar to the Tri-Color True to life colored pencils and markers. They colors are: 5 shades, Bold Tones, Neon Brights, Royal Hues, Tropic Shades, Classic Colors. I have been looking at these for a while in the store and was so excited to get them in my hands. I opened the packaging to look for at the markers and will be using them soon. I have a feeling my kids are really going to like them.

Melissa and Doug Learning Mat Crayons: What's Inside the Box

I found the Melissa and Doug Learning Mat Crayons at the Crayola Store in Kansas City, Missouri. I bought them because we have four of the Learning Mats from Melissa & Doug. They remind me of bathtub crayons from Crayola. The Learning mats feature one side that is colored and one side that is not. The intention is for the kids to use these crayons over and over on the non colored side to learn about ABC's, numbers, maps and planets.

Crayola Color Wonder Planes Coloring Pad and Markers: What's Inside the Package

My mother bought the Crayola Planes Color Wonder Coloring Book for my son. He did not use it as much at first, but now that he is older, he loves it. He loves the Planes movies and Dusty. The only frustrating thing for him is that he does not understand why when he colors the clouds white, they do not change color. I know they purposely did this, but it seems a little much in my mind. The kids should be able to color the clouds the color they want.

Color Wonder are special markers that will only color on Color Wonder paper. We have a few Color Wonder sets and I bought a blank coloring pad. The only drawback is when the paper runs out the markers will not work anymore and more paper will need to be bought. It is definitely more expensive than normal paper.

5 Count Crayola Glitter Washable Sidewalk Chalk: What's Inside the Box

I fell in love with the Crayola Glitter Washable Sidewalk chalk the first time I saw it. And when it went on sale at the end of the season I picked up two boxes, one for me and one for my kids to use this spring and summer. I can not wait til it gets warm and we can go outside and use it. The box is really nice for collecting and the colors come in clear plastic wrap making it very easy see the colors, but also collect them and look at them.

5 Count Crayola Window Crayons: What's Inside the Box

The colors in the Crayola window crayons are a lot more vibrant than the window markers and are very fun to use. The red also colors more like a pink which my daughter loves.

We first used the Crayola window crayons when they came in the My Color Is boxes. At the time I did not realize they did not make the crayons in pink, orange, and purple. I let my two year old son use them and he went a little crazy with them. However they get damaged quickly by a two year old and I regretted letting him use the collectible colors. I bought this box for him to use. His favorite thing is to bang the crayons and leave crayon shavings on the window. He also thought he could draw on the walls and the floors. Fortunately a little window cleaner left on for a minute or so got rid of these stains. I was lucky walls are more porous and can absorb the color, but it did not. The window crayons are a lot like the slick stix and tips go down quickly like lipstick. They also flake off when on the window onto clothes and everything else. I found myself walking on chunks of crayons later. It takes a while to take them off the window, many many quirts and paper towels, but it did come off. For these reasons I would recommend these crayons for responsible kids, my daughter, 4 is responsible and handled them well. I would let the two year old use the window markers instead.

Crayola Bathtub Crayons and Markers: What's Inside the Box

I love the Crayola bathtub crayons. They are really easy to use, and come off easy too. I usually use window cleaner to get most crayons off surfaces and these come off very easy with window cleaner and water for that matter. This is the first year 2016 that I have seen the bathtub markers. The markers have a different tip than most markers, it is cloth-like. I can not wait to use them with my kids.

The only thing I do not love about these crayons is the packaging. Crayola uses this packaging design for many items, but it is hard for collectors to store them or look at them without opening the packaging. They have a new box design, a circular plastic case with a close-able lid. It is interesting to note that Crayola does not actually make these crayons, they are made by Pop Rocket. Play Vision has been making recent bathtub crayons There is not a lot of information on the given website about the crayons, but they are the ones listed on the back of the box. They also do not have a style or code number because an outside supplier manufactured them.
