The Crayola Factory We were there for two hours. If it hadn't been for hungry tummy's we could have easily stayed there for two more. Every few steps there was an art hands on exhibit to engage Aidan and Ethan. Hope you enjoy these pictures of them exploring different forms of art.
One exhibit was made to look like the kids were doing side walk chalk outside, except we were inside. Aidan asked, " can do this at home?" Ummm, let me think about that - NO!
Very interesting was this show where we all learned how crayons and colored markers are made. Aidan was brave to raise his hand for three of the questions.
And here's how markers are made...
Three tokens were given at the door to each kid. The tokens allowed them to get a pack of crayons, one washable marker and a ball of magic molding clay.
Oh and everyone received a cool sticker that said they went to the Crayola Factory. That was my favorite souvenir.
Crayola is smart to develop whit markers that only wrote on these papers. I remember achieving this look in grade school the old fashion with crayons.
They had finger painting and water color and much, much more...

Upstairs on the third floor is a mini train and canal museum.
The boys are at just the right age to participate in all the activities the Crayola Factory had to offer. I remember learning about how crayons are made from Mr. Rogers as a kid and longed to visit the factory one day. What a special to share this experience with my boys. (wish you were there Aunt Nellie)
