Do you remember your first box of 64 crayons with the cool sharpener built right in? I remember...it seemed like forever that I was stuck with the box of 48 crayons. My mother just did not see the need for 64. She just didn't understand why I needed such beautiful colors as "cornflower", "atomic tangerine", "tickle-me pink", "salmon" and "spring green" and how they were required for me to complete my third grade education. I don't remember how huge the tantrumt I had to throw was, but I remember gazing loving across all 64 beautiful colors after my mother finally gave in...too afraid to ruin the perfect point of the silver or gold crayons, or heaven forbid, have to tear the wrapper because the crayon was worn too far down.
Today Kat Kat arrived at our home with the best surprise ever!!!! She noticed my kids were lacking in the crayon department, as their collection consists of broken pieces, miscellaneous stubs, and a few Princess head crayons. I guess I should say it
consisted of these, because Kat Kat brought the ultimate Crayola collection. 150 different colors. A three-tiered holding caddy that locks in place to ensure easy access to each unique color. It is complete with a Super Sharpener- one that ingeniously collects the shavings in a built in compartment for easy disposal. This is the Red Rider BB Gun of Crayons.... on speed.
I was...I mean the girls were SO excited. I'm so happy that they appreciate the happiness that comes with "raw umber", "thistle", "mulberry", "blizzard blue" and a built-in sharpener.
