After Hershey we decided to drive over to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA for Saturday’s fun. As Nathan put it… it should be called a fun place or something because it is not a factory. The one portion that shows how they make things is an extremely quick and small demonstration that shows how they make crayons and markers. It was not true to what it said. Basically it is full of crayola products for you to use. We were given a sand art turtle to paint with watercolors. I actually enjoyed getting to paint.

Next up was an area that was set up like a street where the kids could draw and write on the ground with sidewalk chalk…

There was also a glass tunnel where the kids could write on the walls with markers…

Here are the kids trying to color on black paper with rainbow pens but all of the paper that was there had already been used…

There were also section where they cut out a seahorse and decorated it, finger painted, made a fish impression painting. You also got coins with your admission that you could use for a sample of clay, a 4 pack of crayons, or a marker. Here are the kids posing with the large crayon at the end of the day…

It was an interesting day but I think what I enjoyed the most was the little farmer’s market that was set up in the main square where we bought fresh bakery goods before heading out for the day. :)
