Crayola Color Wonder, On The Go Coloring: What's Inside the Box and Review

I was so excited to receive the Crayola Color Wonder On-The-Go coloring sets from Crayola. I was going buy at Target, but held off and the next day I found out we were getting them to review. My kids especially love the PJ Masks and Paw Patrol sets. A couple of years ago my kids started watching the Disney Channel show PJ Masks and there were no toys at all for the show. My kids and I love the show because it has both boys and girls that turn into pajama clad superheroes at night with their magical bracelets. We found some PJ Mask's pajamas for their Halloween costumes and bracelets for Christmas. Now they get to color their favorite superheroes in a REAL coloring book! They are excited. I can not tell you how many "coloring pages" (ones I made from images from the internet before there were books) I printed for them to color for PJ masks. There are also PJ Masks giant coloring pages, coloring books with stickers and activity books.

What's in the box and how does it work?
The Color Wonder Color-On-The Go sets come in 4 themed sets; Paw Patrol, Disney Princess, PJ Masks, and Shimmer and Shine. The sets are very well put together and include 3 themed markers each. All of the markers are interchangeable. How does the Color Wonder work? The marker only colors on the specialized paper, because the paper contains chemicals that react with the marker ink. Read more about the patent information here. What is really cool about this set is it has negative space areas which is used to hide fun patterns, outlines of buildings, background objects, and masks on the PJ Masks outfits. Watch the video to see what is in the boxes and my daughter coloring Owlette.

My son's coloring: Crayola Color Wonder On-The-Go: Paw Patrol

My daughter's coloring: Crayola Color Wonder On-The-Go: PJ Masks, her favorite character Owelette. Notice she is wearing the bracelet too. She wears it every day to school.

Review
What did my kids think? To say they loved them is an understatement. My son carried his, he claimed the Paw Patrol around the house and colored all the pages. He mostly scribbled on them and colored really quickly, but he loved it. My daughter loved the PJ mask one, and has almost colored all the pages in her set. She loved finding the hidden objects in the pictures.

What did I think? I think these are really cool and would be idea for taking to the doctor's office or a long card ride, two things we do often enough. And would be a much better alternative than a screen. I love that the booklets can be opened and closed and there is space for the markers inside. This way the markers will not end up all over the car and the doctor's office. This happens a lot with other marker packages that can not be closed up when they are open. I love that they are mess free and only color on the paper. My son was confused the other day when he was coloring with them and accidentally "colored" on his blanket. I had to reassure him that the blanket was not dirty because the marker did not leave a mark on his blanket.

How could it be even better? I would love refills for these books. My kids colored through the pages pretty quickly. I would also maybe like to see a few more colors per set. They are interchangeable, but my daughter only wanted to use the ones that came in the set.

Collecting and Shopping 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.

10 Count Crayola Color Wonder Markers: What's Inside the Box

We love Crayola Color Wonder at my house. We have the Planes, Cinderella, and a Mess Free coloring pages coloring books. I also just got some Crayola Color Wonder On the Go to review which I will be posting about in a few days. Color Wonder Mini Markers are markers that only color on color wonder paper. They react with the paper to produce a color, but only with this paper. The markers do no make a mess on anything else. Earlier today my son was coloring with them and had the coloring book over his blanket. All of the sudden he said, "I got some marker on my blanket". I told him that the color does color on his blanket. He seemed to believe me after a while. I think these will be a staple at our house for a while.

Crayola Neon 3D Sidewalk Chalk: What's Inside the Box

I have had one box of Crayola 3D sidewalk chalk before. I have not put it up here yet, it had chalk crayons in it too. It was a lot of fun to use. We drew all over the sidewalk and it really looked 3D. Special chalk is needed, just the glasses to make it 3D. It is a lot of fun for kids to play with. Be warned, get a set of glasses for each kid that wants to use it.

Crayola Crayon Factory Review: What's Inside the Box

I was given the Crayola Crayon Factory by Crayola in exchange for an honest review. I do not know if it will surprise you, but I also own the original Crayola Crayon Maker and a Crayola Paint Maker. I will be putting those on the blog soon. I love the latest iteration of the crayon maker. This one is so much easier to use than the original, requires less steps, is smaller, and creates less of a mess. The crayons are placed in the top of the device, a mold is placed in the melting chamber, and a button is pushed to start the process. Easy as that. The old crayon maker had to have a special light bulb to work. It took me a few months to find the light bulb, and then the crayons could only be made into other crayons shapes that were half the size of regular crayons.

This toy is very useful for teaching children. It teaches them principles about color blending, recycling of old crayons and different states of matter. Here is the video of the crayons we made with the Crayon Factory.

Crayola Air Marker Sprayer Review: What's Inside the Box

I was given the Crayola Air Marker Sprayer by Crayola to give my honest review. This is honestly one of my favorite gadgets from Crayola. And I am really saying that. I have only seen air sprayers used by street artists and never been able to use one myself. I have been eyeing this one for a while. It was fun to finally be able to use one.

Here is my son's very first creation made with adult supervision. We had a ton of fun. For our creation we used all the colors in the box and one of the stencils provided. He even liked spraying it without a stencil. The stencils were a little sticky after use, but that did matter much once they dried.

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.
