Baby shark, color color color color, baby shark. Somehow the creators of Baby Shark have turned a 2 minute repetitive jingle into a merchandising empire. And now they’ve even partnered with Crayola to create the Color Wonder Baby Shark Coloring Book. It (somehow?!) features 18 full pages of baby sharks for your kids to color in. Apparently there’s a lot of scenarios that these sharks can get themselves into besides just stating their own names in song. Five markers are also included, so you’re ready to color straight away, all with no mess.
Wait, no mess? If you’re not familiar with Crayola’s “Color Wonder” products, these are specially designed magic markers and paper. The markers will ONLY write on the Color Wonder paper and not all over your walls, tables, kids faces, bathtub, and all the other great places kids love to use markers on. It’s all the fun of markers, without all the fun of Mom having to clean up the walls afterwards. How does it work exactly? Magic. That’s why they’re called “magic markers”. A magical writing instrument never reveals his tricks.

Color Me Sad: Crayola Retires Dandelion Crayon
Crayola to Retire and Replace One Color from Its 24-color Box
Back in grade school, we judged how well off you were by the size of the box of crayons you brought to class. If you had that giant 64-color box with the built in sharpener, your family clearly was rolling in dough. If you brought the generic colors in an 8-box you were on the opposite end of the economic scale. These days, schools put the middle-of-the-road 24 color box on the required school supply list to make things more equal.
Now, Crayola has announced that it will be killing off one of the Crayons in the 24 count box. At first glance you might think perhaps the shitty white Crayon would get the axe, but that one is needed to make different shades of the other colors. It’s the only way you got gray back in the day unless your rich parents sprung for the 64-count box.
This is the same thing that Monopoly pulled when it retired the thimble. The announcement of the retired color and what color will replace it will come on March 31, also known as National Crayon Day (who knew?) My money’s on that ever so slightly different blue color in the top row.

Holiday Gift Guide 2013: Crayola See Thru Light Designer Makes a Great Gift
Crayon Bandolier Belt: Armed and Colorful
Kids can carry a full bundle of ammunition (aka crayons) anywhere they go with a Crayon Bandolier Belt. Just like Chewbacca does. Also soldiers. But mostly Chewy. The machine washable 38″ long fabric belt comes pre-loaded with 24 Crayola crayons. The bandolier leaves kid’s pockets crayon-free so they can hold the kid essentials- things like rocks, googly eyes, raisins, and stickers. Make art, not war.
Griffin Launches Crayola Light Marker for iPad: The Un-Stylus
I can always tell when my daughter is an art making mood. I don’t have to see her artwork to know she’s feeling artsy, I can look at her hands and tell when she’s been in the marker box. She always ends up with pink and orange swirls on her fingers and on the side of her hand. We also end up with Crayola wrappers everywhere and pieces of paper thrown all around. She typically makes a big mess but ends up with beautiful artwork.
If your kid likes to make a lot of artwork, but isn’t exactly neat about it you might want to check out a new product from Griffin called the Crayola Light Marker for iPad.
The device itself looks like your typical Crayola marker, only it has a glowing light on one end and works in conjunction with an application that runs on the iPad. Instead of drawing directly on the screen of your iPad, you draw in the air with the Light Marker. It uses the iPad’s front-facing camera to track the position of the marker. It also comes with a stand to hold the iPad in place at just the proper angle for drawing.
The app offers several different things the kids can do including a free draw where they can draw on the screen just like they would on a piece of paper with any color marker they want. The app also includes coloring pages, dot-to-dot pictures, and hide and seek pages to play with. The app is available on the app store at no cost and the Crayola Light Marker itself is available right now for $29.99(USD).
Griffin and Crayola intro contact-free Light Marker, drawing workstations
Griffin and Crayola are already best of friends through their ColorStudio HD collaboration for the iPad. They're deepening that relationship at CES with a handful of iPad accessories and apps based around the quintessential crayon. Heading up the pack, the Crayola Light Marker you see above upgrades the earlier input by letting kids draw in the air; they can splatter (thankfully virtual) paint and play other games without scribbling directly on the tablet's screen. A pair of cradles are joining the marker, including the Digital Activity Center portable lap desk (after the break) and the briefcase-like Color & Play Workstation. The software side is being rounded out with special Barbie and Hot Wheels versions of the ColorStudio HD app, each of which has drawings themed around the perennial favorite toys. Griffin expects the Light Marker, Digital Activity Center and Color & Play Workstation to reach young artists' hands in the spring for $30, $40 and $20 respectively; the specialized iPad apps should arrive later in January, each for $3.
