Crayola Holiday Giveaway

If you’re still looking for some gifts to spark your kids’ creativity this Christmas, Crayola has put together an online gift guide for kids from toddlers to tweens. You can find gifts by gender, age, or type of product (think mess-free or washable!). You’ll even find products that make your artwork light up in the dark. It’s amazing what kids can do with Crayola products today.

We just received a box full of goodies from Crayola and MyBlogSpark. Here’s what we found inside:

Crayola Color Wonder Sound Studio helps kids add sound effects to their artwork. Crayola Glow Explosion Spin Magic lets kids create glow-in-the-dark art with markers that light up like glow sticks on paper. The Crayola Model Magic Presto Dots helps kids create 3D characters with the “Pop-Dot” tool.  And who can argue with the fact that the Crayola 64-pack of crayons is simply awesome?! This is Emma’s first 64 box of crayons, and she’s loving the fact that she can see all the colors at once. We may have to check out the 150-count Crayon Tower one of these days! (If you’re planning to buy any of these Crayola products for Christmas, be sure to download the Crayola rebate form here.)

One of the new features of the Crayola website is the Story Studio. You can create a cartoon character from your child’s photo and color it online. You can try it out using the access code PRY4DBJJ. This code will work for 48 hours after you enter it. Feel free to explore the site for a bit.

Crayola and MyBlogSpark have provided a second Crayola prize pack for one lucky Saving & Giving reader.
