We stopped in Easton, Pennsylvania to go to the Crayola factory. It's not really a factory anymore, just a cool place for kids to have some Crayola fun. The kids had a great time.
Posing with the giant marker
Making some coloring creations that would then be projected on the wall
John dancing with the coloring creations
Anna drew the orange bird with the pink ahead and we projected it on the wall
Seeing how crayons are made. They don't make them here anymore, but they made some for a little presentation and we got to see it. See the Mr. Rogers crayon factory video HERE.
So many crayons at Crayola!!
The kids got to personalize a crayon wrapper and put them on a crayon of their choice, make markers and play with some Crayola Model Magic clay that they could take home.
We got to make our own coloring page. The pictures were looking pretty normal til we got there and did our picture - then it started looking sort of weird. Maybe our beautiful faces broke the machine. :)
And they got to do melty spin art too.
They did some painting with melted crayons.
There were so many fun things to do. The kids LOVED this giant water play area where they could move their boat through lock and up water ways to get it through the river. I wasn't sure what it had to do with crayons - maybe it was teaching about moving things for manufacturing. But it was a lot of fun. We loved working the locks.
Here is Matthew working the locks. Water is always fun!
We had a great time visiting the Crayola factory...or the Crayola "Experience"
