Crayola Experience - And the rest

I have spent several weeks on the Crayola Experience because there was so much there. Even after dividing it into logical themes, there are still things I haven't mentioned.

There were classic ads, reminding you of the excitement of a new box of crayons.



There was a section on green about the environment, but...

there was also a bit about how many different shades of green there are, which is true of any color.

In the cafe there was a chart of the history of the different colors, which was pretty cool to see. 

Incidentally, the cafe had a show with some science, specifically as it pertained to light and color.

Just as a reminder, we were there just after Labor Day, so everyone had just gone back to school and work and it was too early for field trips. For most things that worked well, but the show would have been more fun with more kids. As it was, I had to volunteer for the first thing to give the one child in the place the courage to volunteer for the second thing. I was rewarded with Silly Putty.


There is also Big Blue, the world's biggest crayon. It is more impressive than the world's largest potato chip, which I have also seen.

The gift shop had a lot of cute souvenirs, but the best thing there was the ability to pick your own mix of crayons. It's almost too much pressure.


In conclusion, we really enjoyed the Crayola Experience.
