Thank you to Crayola for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Crayola’s Colors of the World crayons are amazing! Thank goodness, we have other options to choose from rather than the previous pinkish-orange “flesh” color that we were limited to for so many years. These new colors range from extra light almond to a beautiful chocolate and many in between.
The Colors of the World set contains 24 crayons and are non-toxic so are safe around toddlers and even your pets who might have a tendency to chew on anything left within range.
Along with the Colors of the World crayons, we were provided with 10 markers, 24 pencils, white construction paper, a sketchbook, and “giant” construction paper. Everything needed for a fun artistic experience for all ages.
The 10 markers are available in washable or permanent depending on your personal needs. You have the option of getting them in metallic or glitter and can choose the width of your tip.
As if makers and crayons aren’t enough, Crayola also has a wide option of colored pencils that range from washable to Premium. Even the grip of the pencil is an option as well as how you sharpen the pencil. Crayola allows you to choose the pencil that works best for your artist.
With all of these colorful tools, you need something to color on, right? That’s where Crayola’s construction paper and sketchbook come in to play. If construction paper is what you need, Crayola has white, black, and several packages of multicolor choices including metallic. If you have a large project in mind, Crayola offers a Giant construction paper that is 18 inches wide.
If your artist likes to keep a sketchbook handy for those spontaneous moments, Crayola has that covered also. They even have a Blend and Shade Inspiration Pad that teaches blending and shading techniques.
With fall and winter weather approaching, inside activities are a must. Check out your options at Crayola. You won’t be disappointed.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

This is such a good way to embrace ethnicity in kids drawings

I absolutely love this idea! Being a woman of color, it was always frustrating not being able to create my friends in the right shade.

I was expecting so much more from Crayola. With this assortment of skin tones from pink to dark brown, a child can definitely create some skin tones. But I was so disappointed that there were no black shades. So many of the world’s people have blue-black skin (people in America, Australia, India, Africa). When I wrote to Crayola, they said they had diverse family consultants, and also a well-known cosmetic foundation colorist.
I think they need to go back to the drawing board. There do not need to be so many rose shades (kids could blend with white), leaving room in the box for blacks and purples. Hair and skin around the world cannot be created with the crayons as they exist. Thank you!
This is a good thing, although a bit late. Glad they got around to it.
