Crayola Factory



When Diana was in elementary school, a group of kids from Perry went to Winfield, KS to the Crayola Factory. It was a field trip that made quite an impression. On Friday, we took Emma to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. We watched a demonstration where they showed us how crayons and markers are made -- Emma was given a new orange marker that still had a white tip as the ink hadn't yet drained through the cartridge. Then we went to a studio area where we played with Model Magic, painted with melted crayons, made puppets (Emma's favorite), painted with watercolors & then ran the creation through a dryer, drew on glass with special window markers, and made a space scene. Whew! What we planned as a couple hour stop wound up taking over four hours!
