Crayola Experience Part2

So we have now been there 2 Saturdays in a row & had just as much fun this time as we did the last time. 

In this post I will talk about the differnt exibites 

Activity Studio

This is a really cool area that has a lot of differnt art stuff like markers, crayns & water colors (don't worry they also have a BIG dryer so that you don't have to walk around with wet artwork) With a projet idea. I don't know how offen the the thyme changes but the two weeks we have been there it's been Under Water. So the Art projet is to make a Suba mast & air tank. Super Dog was really not into makeing eather of the projets so he just did his own thing. 

Art Alive

This is where you draw/color a image on the tablets then "send" it & it will apear on the large smart board/screen. If kids touch the screen/wall the image will change. 

  

Be A Star

You become the STAR of the color sheet in this area 

Birthday Rooms

They even have rooms you can rent for birthdays & fun 

Café Crayola

Becuse after playing so much you need to refuel with Food. 

Super Dog had PB&J uncrustable, carats & a root beer ($8.99) I had Pizza & Frys (yes odd combo but that is how it came & Super Dog loved the frys). To be 100% truthful The food was not the best & you could get better by leaving for lunch then coming back but it was nice to have a place to relax & not have to stress about finding a CLEAN table. Plus the kids meal came with the cute lunch box & cup  (Insider tip - If you have a membership you will get 10%off on food)

  

Café Stage

This was a fun little show about how crayola products are made. The days we were there it was about Silly puddy, Super Dog didn't want to watch the show but the parts of it we did see were really cool. 

Color Magic

Ever want to take a Selfie with page you colored? Well this is the place to do it. You will close a photo then take it to one of the computers were you will scan the image & snap . You are even able to email it to yourself 

Color Playground

They even have a place were kids can run around crazy & let the parents relax a little bit. (they think of everyting) Yes that is a Sky light you see above it. 

  

  

Colossal Caddy

This is a area FULL of color sheets & thousands of crayons. 

Crayola Store

EVERYTING Crayola is in this store plus a mini "Be a star" make your own color sheet area. The store is open to everyon 

(Insider tip- If you have a membership you get 10% in the store)

Crayon Factory

Let Scarlet & Turk (2 crayon friends) show you how Crayola makes their crayons. I am sure many of you have seen "How crayons are made" but this is a really cool interactive show that kids are sure to love. Plus you walk out with a new red crayon when all is done. Shows last about 20 mins. 

  

Doodle In The Dark

Think White bord but under black lights 

Drip Art

(we called it spin are) Here you will put a crayon of your picking in the melter & it will drip wax as you control how fast the paper spins. 

 

Melt & Mold 

Every wanted a Ring crayon or a Race Car crayon, How about a Babe the blue (really any color) Ox crayon. Swing by this place to make one.

  

Meltdown 

(I called it Drip art) Here you will take "paint" with melted crayon wax. 

Word from the wise - Don't try to "Splater paint" the wax is HOT. 

Modeling Madness

 here you will use one of the coins you were given when you checked in (see other blog post for more information about them) to "buy" a color of Modeling Magic. Once you have picked out your color head over to the table & play away. Model Magic is WAY better then play-Doh as it stays together & you don't need to worry about it drying out as you walk around the mall, it takes DAYS to dry out.  

 

Paint Palette 

(same area as Activity Studio) 

Puzzle It!

Make your own Puzzle There are 2 differnt sizes (6 & 12 pices) 

Rainbow Rain

Rockin' Paper

Here you will make paper "dance" (there would had been a vido to go with this but I guess hitting record is helpful)

Say "Crayola!" 

They have "green screens around so you can have your photo taken & they will put something behind you. No one was taking photos our first visit & our 2nd visit we were not asked if we wanted our photo taken, I am ok with that as I know it cost money to have your photo printed. 

Scribble Square 

If your child likes to color on walls, windows, your dog ... Well here is a place you can say "Go at kid" :) Everything that is Black or green is a chackbord anything that is white is a white bord & yet you are seeing it write EVERYTHING can be writen on. 

  

Toddler Town 

Here is a play area JUST for the little ones with just as much fun as the one for Bigger kids. 

  

Trading Post 

This is area were you can buy candy & "Participate in a premium craft experience" (This is how they have it listed on their website). We didn't look to close at this part.

Wrap it up! 

Here you will get to "make" your own crayon. Pick a color, pick a name & image for your crayon, & then Wrap it up. (I talked more about this in the other blog post)

You Design

 Here you can design a car or an outfit Then "send" it to the BIG screen where you will see your design come alive.
