2019 New Product Offerings

Crayola Glitter Dots: Crayola Glitter Dots is a fun and innovative way for kids to create with glitter without all the mess. Each dot contains a special coating so all the glitter is contained in the dot and features a unique adhesive which sticks to multiple surfaces including paper, wood, felt, papier-mâché, fabrics, styrofoam and more. Glitter Dots will be available in single serve packs and creative activity kits that enable kids to create sparkling keychains, stickers, mosaics and sparkly signs. Recommended for children 5+ for suggested retail prices of $4.99 for single serve packs up to $19.99 for kits.
Crayola Sprinkle Art Shaker: With the new Crayola Sprinkle Art Shaker, kids can create custom 3D art with glue and sprinkles – with less mess and waste! The contained art project is housed in an enclosed case so kids can lay down custom glue designs and shake until the sprinkles stick. After each creation, the remaining sprinkles will roll back into the included sprinkle tubes for continued use over and over again. Recommended for children 4+ for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Safari Oasis: Following the popularity of Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets, Safari Oasis features all new safari-themed pets that kids can customize with color, wash in the kid-powered tub with a fun slide attachment and customize all over again.

Recommended for children 3+ for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
Crayola Spin and Spiral Art Station: Creating spiralized art has never been easier (and more fun!) until now. Using a combination of markers, inks and stencils, kids can use the Crayola Spin and Spiral Art Station to create endless unique color and shape combinations using circular cut out discs. The 2-in-1 kid powered station allows kids to rotate paper cut-outs and drop the ink to create splatter art on one side and spiral designs with markers on the other. Recommended for children 5+ for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
