A week from today we’ll be sending our sweet little girl off to her very first year of all day Kindergarten. She’s already had two years of half day schooling and that was nice. She had a good group of friends and a small classroom where she got plenty of attention from the teachers. We’re sending her to a school where, hopefully she will also get plenty of attention and where she will be challenged. The school sent home a list of all of the items that they wanted us to buy for Eva to bring to school. Many of the things on the list were crayons and markers and stuff that Crayola makes. I was excited.
You see, I am a fan of Crayola crayons. I think tht they are far superior to any other crayon and have turned my kids into crayon snob because of it. There is nothing like a Crayola crayon in my opinion. Opening a brand new box, there is nothing like it. There is so much potential inside a box of new crayons, much like there is in a child heading to school for the first time. So we had to go and get her some Crayola items.

In addition to playing the Skylanders games on Wii, 3DS, Wii U, Online and iOS I collect the figures, play with the MegaBloks sets, collect the trading cards and now am coloring each of the teams from Spyro’s Adventure. About month or more ago I downloaded the Life Element team and colored it in. I have a set of colored pencils and some crayons at work so that I can color from time to time when it is slow. I enjoy coloring. I especially like coloring these Skylanders coloring pages. They were done by the artist for Skylanders and his blog is Crabfu.cpm. He has a page of coloring page images with every single Elemental Skylanders team (From the first game). So far I’ve done three out of the eight elements and have since downloaded all the rest so that I can color the rest of them with Eva and she can hang them in her room.
Of course my coloring implements of choice are Crayola. I’ve recently gotten the Twistables colored pencils. I’m not sure about those yet, they are not quite colored pencils and not quite crayons. They are strange but cool. I have to use them more.
