It's Just Not Summer without Some Outdoor Fun from Crayola! #SUMMERFUN

http://www.crayola.com/

Whether it's providing tools to put a purple octopus on the moon, or enabling teachers to bring arts-infused learning into the classroom, Crayola is passionate about helping parents and educators raise creatively alive children who we believe will grow to be inspired, original adults.

 Our company has inspired artistic creativity in children for more than 100 years - since the first box of Crayola crayons rolled off the assembly line in 1903. The company began when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over Edwin's father's pigment business in 1885. Early products included red oxide pigment used as barn paint and carbon black used in car tires.

After noticing a need for safe, high quality, affordable wax crayons, in 1903, Crayola produced the first box of eight crayons and sold them for 5 cents.

Since then, the Crayola brand has grown into a portfolio of innovative art tools, crafting activities, and creative toys that give kids the power to express all that inspires them as they explore, discover, play, pretend, and dream.

In 1984, Crayola became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards and has since played a significant role in Hallmark’s personal development strategies.

The company carried the name of its founders, Binney & Smith, until 2007 when we changed our name to Crayola to reflect our No. 1 brand.

Crayola has called Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, its home since the turn of the century. Today, the company's world headquarters and major manufacturing facilities are located there. Downtown Easton is the home of The Crayola EXPERIENCE®, our interactive brand experience where families can enjoy a day of creative fun and see how we make our iconic Crayola crayons and markers.


Give kids the creative tools they need to create exciting outdoor art with the Crayola Washable Chalk Collection. These chalk sticks come in 64 different bright, bold colors and leave clear, vibrant marks on concrete or asphalt. When kids are done for the day, the chalk washes away with water.


Crayola Washable Sidewalk Chalk “disguised” as your favorite characters from Disney’s Frozen! These fun, familiar shapes are perfect for creative outdoor art and imaginative make-believe play! Each character-shaped chalk is sized just right for kids hands too. Includes six washable colors.


Design and spray on colorful outdoor designs with the Crayola Washable Sidewalk Paint Sprayer. This sprayer lets you transform any ordinary outdoor surface, even those covered with snow or grass, into a blank canvas for your creativity. Made for ages six and up, the Paint Sprayer comes with two pre-filled paint cartridges, two stencils, and an instruction sheet to help get you started.


My Review:
It's just not summer without some outdoor fun from Crayola! My kids love anything and everything from Crayola but they especially love Crayola's outdoor products because it means they get to hang out outside and be as creative as they want to be. They usually deck our sidewalks out with their chalk artwork, play tic tac toe and so much more. As a mom of four, I love that when they need more room, or we need to clean things up, we simply get the hose out and spray it down. Then, the fun can start all over again. 

Crayola's 64 ct. Ultimate Sidewalk Chalk Collection is like the ultimate chalk collection and has every color of chalk imaginable. When I brought out this box of chalk my kids face's lit up! My 4 year old loves Frozen so you better believe she was excited for the 6 ct. Washable Frozen Chalk Shapes! I think she carried them around for days in her purse before she even used them. Crayola's Sidewalk Paint Sprayer is a blast! My kids love how easy it is to make fun designs with the stencils and even had a blast creating some of their own custom designs. 

Crayola has some amazingly fun products for summer that are sure to help create memories that will last a lifetime.

My Review:
PCA SKIN's products are absolutely incredible! I've only recently learned about PCA SKIN products but I can definitely tell you that my skin thanks me. 

PCA SKIN's Intensive Age Refining Treatment® is phenomenal! I'm in my early thirties and I'm definitely beginning to see some aging going on. After using PCA SKIN's Intensive Age Refining Treatment® just one night my skin looked amazing. My skin actually looked young, healthy and vibrant. After a few more uses my skin looks incredibly good, so good that I can even pull off skipping makeup. And, when I do skip makeup I've had a few comments about how amazing my skin looks so I know PCA SKIN's Intensive Age Refining Treatment® is working and working well. 

PCA SKIN's Ideal Complex® Revitalizing Eye Gel is also a terrific product! I would say that most women seem to age around their eyes, and I'm definitely one of those women. My eyes always have dark circles under them but have also recently started to develop a few fine lines around them. Within a week of using PCA SKIN's Ideal Complex® Revitalizing Eye Gel, I saw my fine lines virtually disappear. Each and everytime I use this eye gel my eye immediately look and even feel younger. The skin around my eyes feels incredibly hydrated and everything looks lifted and younger which just blows me away. PCA SKIN's Ideal Complex® Revitalizing Eye Gel is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it!

PCA SKIN's Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum has turned my dry skin into radiantly beautiful skin like I used to have in my 20's. It's literally turned back the clock a good 10 years to reveal a beautiful glow that I thought I'd lost years ago. My skin feels much more plump and moisturized throughout the day even in the harsh Arizona weather that I have to endure everyday. PCA SKIN's Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum seems to be just what my dry again skin was thirsting for and I highly, highly recommend it!

PCA SKIN's products absolutely blow me away with their results and I can't wait to try even more of their wonderful products!
