If you have
been following this blog for any amount of time, you have probably noticed that
I LOVE doing crafty things. So, when ColorTime Crafts & Markers contacted
me about trying out one of their products, I couldn’t resist!
ColorTime
Crafts & Markers has been selling fun, easy, and clean projects for
children and adults since 1990. You can purchase all kinds of fun items from
them such as t-shirts, tote bags, pillowcases, and much more. The best part is,
you (or your kids) can color your own! ColorTime Crafts offers a wide selection
of pre-printed products or you can even get wholesale orders with your design
(or one their artists come up with). They have also been a licensed Girl Scout
vendor for 15 years and are great for birthday parties too.
They also,
as their name implies, sell fabric markers. ColorTime Markers are non-toxic,
permanent, quick drying, and water and chlorine resistant! Although they are
permanent, they easily wash off of your skin. I got a few little marks on the
notorious side of the pinky area. I completely forgot about it until much later
after I had washed my hands and they were completely gone. So, if you or your
child gets any on their hands (it’s inevitable, right?) don’t worry too much.

ColorTime
Crafts & Markers sent a Recycle tote bag and 3 fabric markers for me to
review. I have to say, even though I’ve colored some with my 3 and 4 year old
nieces a few times recently, I had forgotten how relaxing coloring can be. (For
me at least. Maybe I’m weird.) It can, of course, be a fun way for younger kids
to work on hand eye coordination as well. ColorTime Crafts would also be a
great project to work on with older kids on a rainy day. Even if they’re not
into coloring as much as when they were little, all kids love making things
they can actually use, and these will last for years to come!
Left: As directed, I placed a paper towel inside of the tote in case of any bleeding. Right: There were a few tiny spots where it bled through.
I was kind
of surprised by how big the fabric markers are. Not that that’s a bad thing. I
found out firsthand that their large size makes it easy for kids to hold. (See
picture below.) While we’re talking about markers, these ones are great because
they don’t bleed NEARLY as much as normal markers. I followed the directions
included with the tote and markers and you can see how little bled through in
the picture above.
Somebody thought they were being sneaky grabbing the markers...
The printed
lines of ColorTime Crafts products are also on the thicker side. As far as kids
coloring these, I think this is great because some little ones can get upset
when they color outside of the lines. With the thick lines, little ones should
have an easier time coloring within them.
Overall,
ColorTime Crafts & Markers are an inexpensive, fun craft to do with the
kids. (Or by yourself. : ) ) Be sure to browse through all of their different
craft products HERE. You’re bound to find something your child will enjoy.
Plus, they are currently having 2 specials they would like me to share with
you.
I think it turned out cute! Plus I love making stuff that is functional. :)
