This blog is a place where I will be talking about life with a three year old as seen through the eyes of her teacher/mother. I hope to share a few laughs, insights, book talks, and anything else that might run through my mind.

Crayola Factory

This weekend Kate, her grammie, grandpa and I went to the Crayola Factory at Two Rivers Landing in Easton, PA. The trip took a little over an hour for us each way. It was worth the ride, though.
For a Saturday, the place was relatively empty. I was expecting a mob scene, but I soon realized there weren't too many people visiting. (Probably due to the fact that many school groups visit during the week.) Add to that the fact that October is "BooFEST" at the factory and they had trick or treating going on as well as all sorts of craft activities, we had a barrel of fun.
Kate loved all the craft opportunities. We did some simple paper weaving, created a booklet, colored all sorts of reproducibles, made puppets, molded modeling compound, and painted with liquid wax. Even with all these things to do, Kate's favorite activity was to dance to the music in a dark room.
They projected her image in Technicolor on a huge screen and she was such a ham! She twirled, jumped, and waved her way through three songs before we convinced her to see what else the factory had to offer.
We took Kate into the show room where a young man explained how the crayons and markers were made. Kate hated to stop playing to sit through the short show, but she did enjoy getting a new crayon to put a wrapper onto by hand.
Plan to spend at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours at the Crayola Factory in order to experience all the arts and crafts they have to offer. This was a great place for Kate to get creative and try out new art techniques.
