I think I’ve stated this on more than one occasion but Crayola are the only crayons that I will buy for our family. I’ve been getting some great Crayola products lately to review. Products like the My Fashion Show and a bunch of other great items. They must know how much I love their crayons because I recently got a 150 crayon tower. I assume it is for the kids but they aren’t touching it. I know I’m selfish but 150 brand new perfectly shaped crayons. No way am I letting my little crayon peeler and tip snapper at them. Nope they can use the My First Crayons that also arrived.
To celebrate National Crayon Day, which I call National Crayola Crayon Day, I decided to take a box of 64 crayola crayons (A box I already owned) and do my Use Every Color experiment on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coloring Page (also from Crayola, which I bought myself because I love the Ninja Turtles). so here is a little progression in the form of photos.

Starting today I am a writer for the new e-zine from Cooper & Kid called Catch. I will be writing about play. My topic will cover projects and toys and more. My very first post is up today. It explains who I am and how I will be approaching Play. Please come and comment on the post as well as the others from great dads.
So I’ll be doing Play and projects. One such project that I’ll be writing about in the future is creating our own crayons using silicone molds. I ordered this mold above from amazon.com as the first one to use as a test. We’ve got a ton of old crayons around the house and they will be perfect for melting down and turning into new crayons to enjoy.
Doing a search on amazon.com for different silicone molds led me to start my own wishlist for molds that I’d like to use for other projects in the future, baking, candy, soap, candles. All sorts of things you can do with silicone molds. I started down a crazy rabbit hole of molds and started putting all of my favorites into a wishlist titled Silicone Molds. I’m excited to make these crayons with Eva and use them with both of the kids.
I have a bunch of fun ideas for projects and look forward to writing my new posts for Catch. Please join me there and help me with new ideas for Play.
