10 Count Crayola Mighty Marks Markers: What's Inside the Box

I found out about the Crayola Mighty Marks markers on Instagram.  Instagram is a very useful tool to find out about new products out on the market.  There are people that will find them and then post them for the rest of the world to see.  I have gotten a couple good "dollar" store finds this last summer that way.  I was able to collect the entire series of Pip-Squeaks in Disguise for a fraction of the cost, one dollar a piece instead of four dollars a piece.  I found these markers on someone's feed.  And it turns out they got them at Dollar General.  I have never been inside a Dollar General before.  It was so fun to venture in.  They had a lot of Crayola products there that had been miniaturized to accommodate the lower cost. I stopped myself from buying everything. These markers were not a dollar but two dollars a piece. They a fine tip marker, way cute and small, a lot smaller than I thought.  They are barely big enough to fit the Crayola logo on the marker. The really cool thing about them is they have all the specialty sets, neon, gel and scented.

I love everything about these markers, the boxes are really cute and feature the color names, something I love.  The neon box only contains 8 unique color names because the blue and the pink are repeats.  How hard would it have been to throw in two more colors?

Crayola Gel Markers and Gel FX crayons: What's Inside the Box

I love coloring on black and dark paper, and these Crayola Gel markers and Gel FX crayons make it super easy to do. When the strokes made on paper with the marker dry, the color lightens.  This process can be seen visually and is very fun for kids to watch. The Gel FX markers and crayons came out in 2001 and the markers are still being in 2015.

 I am so excited to also feature the crayon box from Stacy Hodges crayon collection.  We found each other on the facebook group and she has a lot of Crayola products I do not have and has taken some pictures to share. I am so excited to feature some of her collection on the website along with mine!  I wish I had some of my own crayons to try out, it sounds like they would be really fun to color with on dark paper.
