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.
We received a Sandzini Creator kit: Pony from Ohio Art to try out and review. Sandzini is a modeling compound that can be sculpted into many different shapes. If you are creative and crafty you can probably make some very cook stuff. I am no sculptor and can barely roll out shapes with things like clay and dough. I found Sandzini pretty easy to use.
The Pony Creator set comes with a pink pony with a removable mane. It also comes with pink (7oz), blue (2oz) and purple (1oz) Sandzini. With that amount of compound you can easily cover the entire pony. The pony will be predominantly pink and you can add accents with the blue and the purple. I think that if I had planned this out better I would have made parts of the pony in stages and also used a rolling pin to flatten out the Sandzini so that it covered thinner. Eva saw Pegasus wings as an example in the instructions and wanted to do that. If I had opened it and planned ahead then I’d have made some wings, let them dry and then attach them when we made the pony. But, that was rather ambitious and I just didn’t think to do that.
