Colortime Crafts and Markers Review and Giveaway

Colortime Crafts and Markers have been around for quite a few years, since 1990 to be exact (Can you believe that was over 20 yrs ago, yikes!) In the early 90’s customers would recognize Colortime Crafts and Markers from their days at the Cotton Warehouse on Long Island.

Colortime Crafts and Markers is also a licensed Girl Scout Vendor for 15 yrs.

Colortime Crafts and Markers allows you to decorate your own craft usable craft projects like pillow cases, totes, bandanas and more.

The ready to color projects are really affordable. Use their makers (sold separately) to color in the projects. Markers last for a long time if capped and stored correctly so once you buy a few of the markers you can use them for future Colortime Crafts and Markers projects.

We received the “Party Rock Backpack” along with 3 different color markers to review.

I let my youngest son have a go at it first. I colored in a tiny portion of one of the streamers and uncapped the markers from him and he started decorating. He of course didn’t go in the lines and colored wherever he wanted but he had fun. My older 2 sons then colored in a few things themselves. I actually enjoyed doing this as well. My oldest son took the backpack and used it to carry his wrestling shoes and singlet in for practice.

I think this would be a neat project to do at parties. You could order a 1 or 2 economy packs of markers and get each kid a bandanna, backpack, tote, or whatever you like. they they’d have something fun to take home with them rather than the little goody bags or prizes you might buy.

Oh and one of my favorite things about their site, the FREE printable coloring pages!
