I have been a HUGE fan of Crayola Color Wonder for years now–so, when I was given the opportunity to review these travel packs, I was quick to say YES!
My favorite thing about these markers is that they don’t make a mess. Don’t get me wrong–I don’t have anything against messy art supplies. However, you don’t exactly want your kids to sprawl on your off-white, low pile carpet and draw (or paint) a masterpiece. These markers only mark on special Color Wonder paper. I even let my 14 month old sit on my bed and “color”. The markers were everywhere–with absolutely no worry!
We finally had a mild day, with a break from the rain, and took the opportunity to do an outside art activity. (And I had absolutely no worries about the kids coloring on my very favorite, super soft quilt I’ve had since college!) These travel packs include 3 vibrantly colored markers and 15 coloring pages. They’re perfect for a trip to the park, or a car trip across the country. Everything snaps into the pack so there’s less chance of a marker finding its new home with the stale french fries under the third row of your minivan (don’t even pretend they’re not there). With so many fun Disney and Nickelodeon designs available, my kids had a hard time choosing which characters to color first!
These Color Wonder sets are also perfect for kids like my son who have special needs. Since he doesn’t have the ability to grasp with his hands, he draws and writes with his mouth! He breaks traditional wax crayons in half, so markers are a better choice for him.
My kids even found a very cool surprise–each page has “secret” designs that are revealed as they color! It adds a whole new level of fun! Those people at Crayola are SO creative!
With 5 kids, ranging from 14 years to 14 months, I’m hard pressed to find an activity that they can all enjoy; but this is definitely a winner!
So, run on over to Crayola to grab some for your kiddos! AND…be sure to comment and tell us where you’ll take your Crayola Color Wonder On-The-Go packs!

I love that these are not messy, my 2 year old grandson loves to color, but the other day he was coloring on the table.
