Crayola My Way Review

Crayola is ready to join the newest internet craze by personalizing crayon boxes! Crayola My Way is a site where customers can personalize 8 count boxes, 64 count boxes, and art sets. Crayola first tested a form of personalized crayons in 1990's. They had a contest for choosing new color wrapper names. This is where names like purple mountains majesty, denim, shamrock, and macaroni and cheese came from. They loved it so much, they ran more contests, State Crayon namesFacebook crayon wrapper names and many more.  Currently at the Crayola Experience guests can customize crayon wrapper names.  But Crayola My Way is the first time customers can personalize a Crayola crayon box. I was so excited when Crayola contacted me to do an honest review of this product. I was able to pick out some boxes of my very own to design and here they are.

Crayola My Way: What's Inside the Boxes

These are the Crayola My Way personalized crayons boxes.  I wrote a whole review here. This post is going to focus on what what is inside the box and what they mean to the collecting world.

What do these boxes mean for the world of crayon collecting?  In the world of crayon collecting there are two main type of collectors, those that collect individual crayon colors and ones that collect all the crayon boxes out there.  I lean toward the second group of people, but specialize in the specialty crayon boxes, because I would not have space to collect them all nor the money.

Crayola Fabric Markers: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Fabric markers come in a 10 count box of classic colors and 8 count box of bright colors. I have seen the Crayola Fabric markers before and wondered if they were easy to use and if they really worked.  I got my chance when I went to the Crayola Experience in Easton, Pennsylvania, the home of Crayola.  They had an activity center set up to color shirts.  We did not have time to color them that day, but bought the markers and the shirts and brought them home.  A little while later, oh a year, we finally got around to coloring them.  We had so much fun.  I messed it up a little, but you can not really tell.  I did have to press hard to get the colors to come out, but the finished product had vibrant colors in it.  Once the fabric is colored on, it is ironed and then washed and dried in the dryer.  This is the important part, it helps lock the color in.  I washed the shirts separately for a while so they would not bleed on other colors.  The color has faded a little, but not much.  Sadly though my daughter is growing out of our shirts.  We have had some really fun days wearing these shirts together.

The Bright Fabric markers have color names and the Classic Color Fabric Markers do not, this drives me crazy when they are not named.  The Bright colors are named after fabric names.  I think it is way cute, they deviated from the dictionary names.
