the wonder of color wonder

May I just say that Color Wonder truly is a wonderful thing!

Santa brought a princess one for Liv and a Cars one for Sam. At first I was a little uptight about it since they are more expensive than regular markers and coloring books. But I recently decided that I have to keep in mind they are 2 and 4... so who cares!


They LOVE to color, both with crayons and their 'special' markers. It is one thing they actually do pretty well together... they realized pretty quick if they combine their markers they have twice as many colors to choose from!

And it now occupies about 25% of their free time... giving me that much more as well! Money well spent Santa!

And I don't even have to make them wear something over their clothes....

We love Color Wonders too! We gave the Princess book to Eliza for Christmas and she loves her markers (and I do too)!

I got a plain Color Wonder note pad and a set of markers for Brett for Christmas.

Santa brought my kids these last year. they worked great for a little while, but my kids have this weird obsession with eating crayons and biting the tops off of markers and all our special markers were soon destroyed. Your lucky that your kids don't have a taste for marker :)

That is AWESOME! I can't believe that coloring occupies them for so long - yeah for Mom!!! :) What cuties!
