Crayola Experience

When DW and I were in Orlando at the beginning of the summer, we’d seen a billboard advertising the Crayola Experience that was opening in July. I knew the girls would love it, so mom and I planned to take them on one of our “Fun Fridays…”

We got to the Florida Mall in time for lunch and then made a quick stop at the M&M Color World. I didn’t know but there’s only a handful of them in the world, and one is Orlando. The girls LOVED the color wall, where you could mix your own M&Ms! Of course they made a Gator mix for their Daddy.

Then it was time for the main event- the Crayola Experience! The Friday we chose was only two weeks after the Grand Opening and it was pretty crowded, but it was still a good time.

There are lots of different stations or centers set up where you get to do different artsy things using Crayola colors and products.

A few favorites included the spin art, the light up wall, and the crayon shape maker.

We also got to make custom coloring sheets, puzzles, crayon shapes.

The girls also enjoyed all of the interactive techy stuff. You could color a picture on an IPad, then upload it to the animated wall.

We went through almost all of the stations, saw the live demonstration on how crayons are made and then wrapped up the day literally when we made personalized wrappers for our crayons.

We made custom crayons for a few of our cousins and little friends, too…

The girls loved it – anything coloring and crafting is right up their ally! And Tucker? Well, he chewed on a crayon, got in a nap and LOVED seeing the giant color balls.

No trip would be complete without a trip to the gift shop. At least that’s what my girls think anyway. ;) The brought home a bag full of Crayola art supplies

& even Tucker got a couple things…

It was a colorful fun Friday for sure. :)
