Crayola Stampers Markers: What's Inside the Box and History

I also recently was able get pictures for many historic Crayola MiniStampers markers. The Stampers started in 1994. Stamping was big back then and I imagine Crayola wanted to get in on the trend. In 1997 and 1998 Crayola introduced Stampers for all kinds of themes. Crayola made; expressions, space shapes, animal shapes, pet shapes, nature shapes, party, four seasons and fun shapes. It seemed Crayola was very excited about their expression line and made them for everything. They probably cut back on them because they realized they had too many. I am so excited to find this history for these markers.

I love the Crayola Stamper markers both the Shopkins ones and the mini Expression markers. These ones are both currently on the market. The markers have little stamps of different shapes on the tips of the markers. They add some really nice elements to artwork. We used the mini Stampers on my daughters potty training chart when she was potty training. She still keeps that chart under her bed and is super proud of it. The Shopkins markers feature some of the classic Shopkins unique symbols including the S for Shopkins and the shopping bag. There markers are a lot of fun and I definitely recommend them for anyone with kids, and they are washable!

3 Count Shopkins Themed Crayola Pip Squeaks Markers: What's Inside the Box

I found out about the Shopkins Themed Crayola Pip Squeaks Markers earlier this year. They were first sold at Toys R Us. Unfortunately I am located in the middle of the country and my Toys R Us gets toys later than the east coast. It took several months to find these markers and when they came in they did not have the whole set. I found the rest at Michael's. Unfortunately Michael's charges almost twice as much for them. I asked if they would price match, but they said they do not price match with Toy's R Us just the other craft stores. I explained to them how much more they were and they finally relented. I am so excited to have the whole set and so is my daughter! Here you go. They are so much fun. I love their themes.

8 Count Crayola Shopkins Themed Crayons: What's Inside the Box

I was so excited to find the Crayola Shopkins themed boxes at Toy R Us. I saw people had found them there and went to Toys R Us that night. At first I could not find the cookie box, and had two kids running wild, but I looked a little hard around the store and there they were. I think there are matching coloring books supposedly, but I could not spot them.

I first heard about Shopkins a couple months ago. They are super BIG and popular with the elementary crowd. I was at a birthday party and the birthday girl got them for her birthday. In each package there's a surprise, kind of like cabbage patch dolls back in the day. There are people that dedicate YouTube channels just to show the surprise as they open them.
