The holidays can be long. The earlier nights in the winter mean that those 2 weeks the kids are off school are TWICE as long as they are in the summer. But to beat the toy fatigue we find it best to ensure that there are a few activities under the tree that will keep them occupied even during their biggest “Mom, I’m bored” moments.
Crayola is sharing some of their best holiday gift ideas for kids of all ages, including the Colour Wonder Mess Free Light Up Stamper!
We can’t wait until our son has a chance to check out the Crayola Cling Creator, voted one of Today’s Parent’s WOW toys!
Crayola Cling Creator lets you create your own colourful clings in a variety of fun shapes. Mix colour into the solution and pour into one of the icon molds – or create your own molds in clay! In minutes you’ll have a firm, flexible, colourful cling that sticks to – and peels from – almost any smooth surface. Our kids love “slime” and “sticky bits” that they can play with, so I am sure this will give us lots of creative fun days. Check it out in action here!
And for the older kids, the Crayola Easy Animation Studio is the stuff of your tech kids dreams! It lets you easily create animated videos up to 12 times faster than traditional stop-motion animation! Design a character and scan it into a smartphone or tablet then place the Mannequin in front of your device and move it into a series of poses. Your on-screen character mimics and records the movements and automatically fills in missing poses for smooth, full motion. Play back your video and amaze your friends!
If you have kids who are interested in animation, or you think this could challenge them, check out the video and add it under the tree!
Crayola was always something I committed to for back to school, but with these great, useful gift ideas, I am starting to think they should be a priority in my shopping! All of these fabulous Crayola products, and MORE like the Crayola Creations Thread Wrapper, and the Crayola Crayon Carver are available at stores EVERYWHERE!
Add a little Crayola under your tree, and come back here and check out what kind of Crayola products are PERFECT for stuffing stockings!
