Have you been down the Crayola (Crayola on Twitter) (Crayola on Facebook) aisle at the store lately? I always take a stroll down the aisle when I am shopping. To me, arts and crafts start with Crayola: crayons, markers, paints, colored pencils, drawing pads and so much more. I was looking at the Crayola Holiday Gift Guide and drooling over the fun projects that I can do with Eva. The guide is great because you can search for gifts by age range, very helpful to find the appropriate products.
Back to the Crayola aisle int he store. There are so many cool products and many that have a High-Tech aspect to them. Now when you pick up a box of crayons or other crayola products you get to print out some special content. You can also buy a Story Studio to create a personalized story starring your child. There are three story studio versions at this time and there are Crayola Story Studios for Disney Princesses, Disney/Pixar Cars 2 and Spider-Man. We were sent those three Story Studio sets and love them. Eva enjoys being able to become a part of the story.
We also got a Crayola iMarker digital drawing tool from Griffin Technology (Griffin Technology on Facebook). This is a special stylus that works with the Crayola ColorStudio HD app for the iPad. With this device we can choose so many amazing digital tools to color in interactive coloring book pages. You can use the iMarker to select Crayons, Markers, Paints and colored pencils to use on the iPad to color pages that respond to your child’s movements with the stylus. Music and animation that they can color. Continue reading Giveaway: Crayola High-Tech Holiday Prize Pack
I loved Cars. I thought it was one very funny movie and have watched it many times. I collected a bunch of the die cast Cars toys until so many were produced that it was really hard to continue to keep up. That and pay three times the price of a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car for one with eyes. When Eva was old enough we introduced her to the Cars movie and she also enjoyed it. She plays with my Cars toys and knows the characters. So, when the Cars 2 movie came out we were very excited to see it. That trip to the movies was a debacle. There was lots of crying. “Why did those loveable cars start shooting at each other?” Continue reading Review: CARS 2 on Blu-ray 3D & Blu-ray Combo Pack
I won a contest from my friend Chris Lewis’ blog, Dad of Divas. He has a ton of contests happening all the time and I always try and enter them especially when they are fun things. When I came home from New York I saw that I had a few boxes of things from contests and other things I’ve been waiting for. Continue reading RideMakerz Mater
Being a TeleNav Navigator in Chief affords me the opportunity to go on excursions with the family. One of my favorite aspects of the TeleNav app is the local apps section and on it there is the movie app. I was all set to go see the Transformers movie either with my wife Allison or alone. I had taken 2 hours of holiday time so that I could go into work two hours late. However, we couldn’t find a sitter. Continue reading TeleNav Assisted Family Dinner and Movie
