Win a Crayola High-Tech Holiday Prize Pack!

If there’s one thing every mommy on the face of this planet knows, it’s that if you give your kiddos some crayons and paper—they’ll quietly create masterpieces for hours! 

It’s amazing to me how far even simple crayons and paper have come in the time since my oldest was little; children used to be content with a box of Crayola’s and a coloring book, but today they seem to be a little more interested in the latest app for their iPad or iPhone—and it’s kind of sad! 

Thankfully my children are very fond of both and that’s why I was so eager to try the Crayola Story Studio and Crayola ColorStudio HD app and Crayola iMarker digital drawing tool for iPad!

I love providing my children with tools (be they good old fashion paper and crayons or a more high tech iPad app) to help inspire creativity and the Crayola Story Studio and Crayola ColorStudio HD app are the perfect tools to inspire that creativity!  If you’re looking for the perfect gift this holiday to inspire creativity in the littlest ones in your life then you should definitely check out these very cool new products from Crayola!

Crayola Color Studio

The kit includes paper, glossy cover sheets for printing comic book-style covers, binding strips and 15 Twistables® colored pencils to create three complete books.

And at only $9.99 each they make the perfect holiday gift for just about any child on your list!

Crayola ColorsStudio HD app

turn an iPad into an interactive coloring book using burnt sienna, carnation pink and a rainbow of Crayola colors from the Crayola digital 64 Box! The Crayola ColorStudio HD app and iMarker let kids’ imaginations run wild as they color moving, animated scenes that come alive with music, sound effects and hidden surprises. The app is free on iTunes App Store with the purchase of the iMarker for $29.99 at Toys R Us, Best Buy, the Apple Store and www.griffintechnology.com.

• Kids can select from 64 colors in the digital Crayola 64 Box and then use the iMarker to create the look of Crayola crayons, markers, paints and colored pencils as the stylus interacts with an iPad. The digital coloring pages respond with movement and sound as the pages come alive as kids color.
• Animated images stop moving on the screen so kids can easily color them in without going outside of the lines, so objects look picture perfect when they start moving again. Tidy up your page with an eraser function or an “undo” arrow that removes larger areas of color.
• In addition, kids can save their work in a gallery to be emailed, printed or uploaded to Facebook (mom’s account, and with her permission and help of course!), and also free draw, play interactive games and create their own customized coloring pages they can print and color off-line.

We received all of the Crayola products mentioned above to review (thanks to Crayola through MyBlogSpark) and my two littlest kiddos had a ball creating stories and coloring pictures where they starred as the main characters!  I have to admit—seeing how excited Lil’ Man and Lil’ Diva were to create a story they were the main character was a great feeling for this mommy!  You can check out more of the technology behind the Crayola ColorStudio HD app online at the Griffin Technology online store and make sure you check out Crayola’s Holiday Gift Guide for more great gift ideas from Crayola!
