In our home, we are all about encouraging creativity.
We encourage with arts and crafts in a variety of ways.
From your every day crafts and coloring to paining, sculpting and creating with tin foil!
Creativity is a skill that all children can learn and it is a vital factor in helping them to become critical thinkers and problem solvers in addition to helping better prepare them for their future.
Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they’re inviting parents “Inside the Crayon Box,” for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child’s creative thinking. If you find yourself looking for new ways to inspire your children to express their ideas and build their creativity, you’ll want to join us to learn and share!
The first “Inside the Crayon Box” live chat is Wednesday, March 7 at 9 p.m. EST (8 p.m. CST). Join Crayola and musician, children’s author and mom, Lisa Loeb for a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit “Stay (I Missed You),” will share as personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter. We want to hear from you – participants can ask Lisa questions during the event, too!
Lisa will be discussing topics like Why Does Creativity Matter?, Growing Up Creative, and Simple Tips, Easy Ideas.
If you are not able to attend the chat live, do not worry, you can check the session out on the Crayola YouTube Channel
I am looking forward to attending this online event and hope that you will join in too! Leave me a comment here or on The Megalomaniac Mommy Facebook Page and let me know if you will be attending!
Also, be sure to check out Lisa’s book Lisa Loeb’s Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs (Sterling Children’s Books, 2011) available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com.

You may recall that last November, the Libby and I took a trip to New York City for the Pop Art Pixies VIP* NYC Party thanks to the fine folks at Crayola! ( If you’re new to the blog you can catch up on our trip HERE. There are a lot of videos and pictures from our trip.) We had so much fun creating memories on our trip and learning all about the Pop Art Pixies line and working on a few crafts of our own.
We are even more excited that the Pop Art Pixie line has recently been expanded and now has projects for your tween girl to personalize and customize her own fashion accessories with Crayola Pop Art Pixies Fab Snaps Wristlet, Fab Snaps Jewelry and Ice Jewelry and bring their rooms to life with the Crayola Pop Art Pixies Ice Chandelier. There is also a new water bottle kit called he Fab Snaps Water Bottle along with some awesome snaps refill kits that allow you to layer and snap together different combinations of fabric patches creating hundreds of different looks.
We can’t wait to start creating some awesome items with these kits. So far we created a bracelet with the Crayola Pop Art Pixies Ice Jewelry.
The Libby really enjoyed this project and thought it was awesome to see how the ice markers turned the silver paper into a pretty jewel. The Crayola Pop Art Pixies Ice Jewelry kit lets you design chic jewelry with “icy effects.” Use Crayola Ice Markers to draw on the metallic discs and slip them into a slot on necklace pendants, bracelets, and rings to show off unique designs. You can even upload your own photos at PopArtPixies.com to perfectly size them to fit each piece of jewelry. Kit includes: 2 rings, 2 pendants (with cords), 2 bracelets, 28 metallic paper discs (pre-printed and blank designs), and 3 Ice Markers. Here she is hard at work coloring away.
And here she is modeling her final project.
She had so much fun she wanted to create some more right away but we ran out of time tonight. I will be sure to post pictures of more projects as we create them.
