Confession: I am not a crafty, creative mom. My idea of craft time is to set the craft box (we do have one – yay!) in the middle of the table and say “Have at it!”
Oh, but I did dye some freebie pasta once. That was pretty cool!
Needless to say, my fascination with all things Crayola is not just because my children love their products. Anything that can make even mom’s art projects look good? Win!
Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they’re inviting parents “Inside the Crayon Box,” for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child’s creative thinking. If you find yourself looking for new ways to inspire your children to express their ideas and build their creativity, you´ll want to join us to learn and share!
The first “Inside the Crayon Box” live chat is Wednesday, March 7 at 9 p.m. EST. Join Crayola and musician, children´s author and mom, Lisa Loeb for a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit “Stay (I Missed You),” will share as personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter. We want to hear from you – participants can ask Lisa questions during the event, too!
Also, be sure to check out Lisa’s book Lisa Loeb’s Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs (Sterling Children’s Books, 2011) available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Sing, laugh, and play with pop Lisa in this fabulous collection of ten of the silliest songs ever. Fun activities, games, and recipes accompany whimsical songs.

I’d love the crystal window affects. I’ve used some of the other window products and loved those so this would be great!! Thanks for the giveaway!
The dry erase bright crayons! I’m not a crafty mom either… so would love all the help I could get.
I love the idea of the dual-sided dry erase board. That would be my favorite!
I’m with you on the window markers! We tried the crayons, and they really seemed to flake and make a mess underneath the window. (Or maybe it was Goosie’s enthusiastic coloring?) What a fun giveaway – thanks for the chance!
I want to use the bright dray erase markers I love making dry erase crafty notes and list all over the house!
I would love to try the Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope Chalk. Love your blog, and thanks for a great giveaway!!!
I love the dry erase crayons!!! I would love my own set as the ones we have have been taken over by my 3 year old. I want some for my white board
The dry erase crayons! For one they erase but also because they never dry out! That is a problem around our house… with markers losing their lids!
I cannot decide between the Crayola Dry Erase Bright Crayons and the crystal window effects!
I think I would love the dry erase crayons! It would be fun to show my two year old grandaughter how teot start drawing and writing. I care for her all week while her mommy works, so we have lots of play time.
I’m all about the My First markers and crayons…mostly because the washable part will help my sanity.
Also – I should point out that I’m a huge fan of Crayola products. The colors are more vibrant than competing brands.
Kaleidoscope Chalk!
I would love to use the window markers. No more need for window clings.
The kaleidoscope chalk!! How cool!!
I just saw the “my first”s in a parenting mag yesterday, they look so cute! I’m probably most excited about the window markers though. How fun!
Ooo, the bright dry erase crayons could make for a very fun homeschool lesson!
Definitely the ones for the windows. Oh. Wait. I mean the dry erase crayons. No. I mean both!! Too hard to pick just one.
The window markers would be awesome!
I would love to play with the Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope Chalk. I hope I win!
I’m most excited about the Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers. These really sound like fun. I believe I’d join in the kids’ fun to make some window art.
I like dry erase boards and crayons, because no treasures to keep after!
Washable markers are the best invention ever! We go through quite a few, that’s what im most excited about.
The stampers and window markers both look cool! Thanks for hosting!
I’m all for trying out the crystal effects window markers. I’ve used their other ones with the boys for a while now–much fun–but these look like a must to purchase soon!
I would love the window markers. We seem to always have a little one that pulls the window clings off the window. I would love to decorate windows/mirrors with seasonal pictures or weekly Bible verses.
I’ve been eyeing those dry erase crayons. Would love to win.
I would love to try the window markers, but they all sound like fun.
The window markers! Did you ever watch Numbers? I was always fascinated by their clear dry erase boards
Window markers sound new and exciting! I have turned into a window cling junki—I just think they’re fun! This way we can make whatever picture we want.
I am an art teacher and we just had an in service with a Crayola rep two weeks ago. She had the the Crystal window markers there for us to try, but I didn’t get a chance. I would love to decorate the windows in our house for birthday and stuff!
PICK ME! PICK ME!! Yes, I’m begging for you to pick me in your completely random drawing.
My daughter could really use a boost to her art supplies.
I am excited to try the dry erase crayons and message board. I love jotting down messages, to-do lists, anything! I could go crazy with that.

I’m excited for the chalk. We were playing with our own yesterday and we are down to nubs!
The window markers looks amazing! My grandfather used to paint murals on his front picture window for all the holidays. My favorites were the christmas ones since it was his favorite holiday, i think he put the most effort into those. I miss him & them.
The dry erase bright crayons…not something we have in the house right now, and easy clean up when someone wants to try again.
The dry erase board!
Window markers would be a hit in my house. My son likes to make stained glass windows!
Definitely the First Crayola products – my toddler is just learning to use crayons!
With two toddlers, I would LOVE the My First Crayons, Markers, and Stampers!
Those window markers are great! I haven’t seen the washable markers yet, I’ll have to find some of those because my (almost) 18 month old daughter LOVES to color and draw but I hate the regular markers/crayons. She’s already colored on the wall once and I’m not ready for it to happen again
The kaleidoscope chalk sounds like lots of fun!!
I think the Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers sounds sooooo cool !! We never used them here and i think with those i may just join in the crayoal fun along with the kids!Thanks for offering this giveaway and good luck to all!
My First Crayola Washable Crayons sound exciting! I didn’t know they made washable crayons.
The window markers would be fantastic. We have lots of big windows in our house, they would be the perfect place to doodle and draw.

The dry erase crayons. My kids got an easel for Christmas and one side is a dry erase board, but I think they’re becoming bored with the one marker that came with it!
Window markers for sure!! They sound like a lot of fun. Thanks!
Love those My First Crayola WASHABLE crayons, markers, and stampers! I gave the stampers recently for a gift and it was a huge hit; I wanted to try them out myself.

I would love to try the window markers!!!
The dry erase crayons — so easy to clean off of walls and tables
.
I love the idea of window markers! My kids have both (at the same age, but at different times) decided to color on the window. Both have only done it once and both times it stayed up so that Daddy could see what they did (and were scolded for) but really I thought it looked kind of neat! I just didn’t want to encourage coloring anywhere they felt like it…for instance my husband’s aunt’s white couch while visiting for Thanksgiving. Thank goodness for washable crayons!
Heather
I think the window markers look cool!
I would love to play with the window markers!
)
I fb your post. Window markers all the way!
Oooh! That’s a tough one! They all sound super cool, but I think I would have the most fun with the dry erase board – gotta love a colorful schedule!
The stampers sound cool! I would like to try them.
I have window markers and hate them….I may have actually thrown them away, oops!
I would love to have new sidewalk chalk, I have to buy new every year and would love to try this!
The window markers sound great!
The dry erase crayons are my favorite!
I think the window markers and the sidewalk chalk would be my favorites!
Dry erase crayons would rock in our home. I’m forever picking out a dry erase marker and finding it dry. And the kids LOVE using them–they are fun!
I am excited about dry erase crayons!!! My kids would probably be the chalk! Thanks for this opportunity!
I with you–I would LOVE to play with the window markers!!
Yeah, the window paper or whatever it is sounds fun and the sidewalk chalk! Would LOVE to win this pack for my kids (and me)!
I like the idea of markers with no lids!
Dry erase crayons! I love all things dry erase!
Oh, and the window markers are not quite as cool as you think. My kids draw horrendous scribbles, I mean pictures, on my windows and then I get to stare at them until I go crazy, I mean wash the windows. And we all know that’s not often enough.
I recently taught my 4 year old how to wash the window and that helps, but he is short so only things at his height and below get cleaned on a regular basis!
The window markers sound fun!
I’m excited about the dry erase bright crayons! I love everything Crayola!! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
Yeah, definitely the Window Markers, they sound like a lot of fun!!
We love Crayola’s products, especially the washable stuff so mama doesn’t have to worry so much.

The window markers sound like fun. I’d like to try them out someday.
I think the Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers sound great! I am not sure if my daughter would get them away from me lol.
Definitely the crystal window markers. Our sliding door to the deck needs some sprucing up.
The dry erase crayons sound wonderful! I have lost count of the number of dry erase markers I have found without a cap.
Kaleidoscope chalk sounds so intriguing! And a number of these things, like the dry erase stuff, would be cool for my piano students and preschool music classes.
The crystal effect markers look fun!
Hi, I love the finger paints!
I think the dry erase crayons and board sound like a lot of fun!
I shared this on my FB page! Jess McCarthy
I agree with you, I am most excited about the window markers. We have lots of windows and I can already think of lots of creative ways to use the markers! Thanks for hosting this giveaway
I think I like the Kalidescope chalk the best. We have several concrete slabs on our property and I like to color on them with my little one.
Hope I’m not too late. I think the dual sided board would be great! Window markers sound fun too!
The dry erase bright crayons sound great!
I agree! The window markers sound like a lot of fun! As long as clean right off when mom is done seeing them, I think we would love them!!
