Crayola Digital Light Designer - After 109 Years, Crayola Goes Digital
2013 - The First Valentine's Day with Digital Crayons by Crayola
As someone on the Andy Griffith show may have said, "they have gone and done it!"
Crayola has moved from the past to the present and now has digital crayons. No mess, no cleanup and certainly, no pictures of doggies and kitties drawn on the wall.
The Crayola Digital Animation Maker is the no fuss or muss creative activity of this Valentine's Day gift-giving season. It is the top selling holiday toy on Amazon and also is very hard to find. I was able to find a couple here in Phoenix to send to family, but this is the year's must-have toy.
Kids can use the digital crayons to make digital designs that can even be animated. Yes, your children can bring their drawings to life. What fun!
In commemoration of this 109 year journey, I have also given the high points of the history of crayons so if you want to have some fun, browse through and participate.
Thanks for visiting and although you may have liked to eat paste when you were little, crayons don't taste very good. Take my word for it.
Crayons that don't Melt in the Sun
Do you remember drawing outside and then moving on to something else, later remembering your crayons were outside? If it is Summer, say goodbye to them.
The long history of crayons goes anywhere from basic crayons in basic colors to the 2012 version of the Crayola digital crayon. In between, there are some fun facts that you can learn on this page.
I loved to use my crayons and when I colored, I was very good at staying in the lines. Since there was no such thing as a crayon eraser, it made your drawings always look so much better.
My crayon journey started with basic colors and also late started drawing without the lines. They are still fun to use to add a little color to something but I would never use them to color on a page. Well, maybe, but I wouldn't admit it.
Have fun with crayon history and you even have a chance to add your opinion.
Oh, buy this hot toy for your children. If you have a chance, buy one for a needy child.
