My Aunt Chris has been suggesting for years (yes, YEARS) now that we make a trip out to the Crayola Factory during one of our visits to the east coast. Somehow, our trips always seem rushed: too many people to see, things to do, and "necessary" places to go ... anAd the Crayola Factory never happened.
This time, in planning this trip, we decided to spend a few extra days to give us the time to go and do things that we always seem to run out of time for.
All that to say, we spent a super fun day at The Crayola Factory with Grandma, Aunt Chris, and cousins Courtney and Kelsey during this visit! And, I must say, the place is AH-MAZING. So much for the kids to do (so much that I loved to do!). There are tons of different Crayola products to try, some special items that you won't see anywhere else, and although there was so much to do, it never seemed overwhelming. We spent several hours and I felt like we had the opportunity to try just about everything. This is somewhere that I would love to take the kids back to.
Dry Erase crayons on a "white board" car ("don't try this at home." I might have said that a few times to Mia!)
So many crayons and coloring supplies everywhere!
Watercolors
Chalk
One area that utilized hot wax had a height limit to go unattended. After Luke stood to check if he measured up, little copycat Mia had to do exactly the same
Model Magic area (Courtney and Kelsey are experts!)
The kids loved all of their take-home goodies, including unreleased colors of crayons and markers, and tons of Model Magic. Other prized items include the coloring pages that print a photo of each child onto them with their favorite character (Luke's is with Lightening McQueen, Mia's is with Cinderella). Such fun!
