I was at Target today and I was tempted by one of my favourite sights: a full box of unused, pointy, perfect crayons. In our family this doesn’t last long; my kids are in the “Push So Hard The Crayons Break” school of colouring and thus none of our crayons last more than a few weeks at best. We do, however, have a large box of broken or flat crayons. 🙂
So, I broke down and bought a new box – it was only about $2.50 – of 48 crayons. It’s glorious! And already kinda worn down, of course, because we started colouring immediately. Or, if not immediately, within a few minutes of my printing out a bunch of Disney colouring pages from TV’s “The Internet”.*
I fully believe that everyone should take the time to break open a new box of Crayolas and put their mark on a nice blank colouring page. Disney-themed or not. I feel like I got my money’s worth out of these new crayons simply because I coloured this:
If you have never printed out any colouring pages, here are a few you might enjoy. I found them all free online so I think they are fine to pass along here without credit. 🙂 Save, print, and spend 20 minutes making some art, y’all. 😀
* This is a long-term nonsense thing I have been saying since about 2000. I say this only because you probably are thinking “TV’s what?”
I just have to say that (call me weird) the smell of a new box of crayons is one of life’s greatest pleasures. This makes me want to color (or colour, if you prefer). So glad you’re back!
