The Art of Color

Something we've been wanting to do with Gavin for quite awhile, was visit the Crayola Factory! So after some planning, we took a mini road trip, met up with the Hubbs crew and had one awesome time experiencing the true Art of Color!

It was the perfect day to celebrate..........

Happy 15th Birthday to the Crayola Factory!

There were SO many fun, colorful exhibits at the Crayola Factory so we tried spending quality time in each. I'll save the very best exhibit for last, but here are some other supa cool centers! And by supa cool, I mean there is nothing cooler than coloring on walls!

{Disclaimer: Kids please do not try this at home}

It was so fun watching these cuties create their own arts-n-crafts!

Our littles didn't forget to put their tokens in the
crayola machines to score some free goodies!

Next up, was the Crayola Meltdown {ages 5+}...

melting wax and painting with it was really cool!

While Chloe enjoyed the Chalkwalk exhibit!

Visions & Voices....a colorful collection of 'toddler' folk art!

A stroll through Color Park!

Crayola after Dark!

Now, the Cool Moves exhibit which was SO groovy...certainly our favorite! Gavin and Chloe {okay, grown-ups too} had a blast!

Gavin couldn't get enough of the cool Moves Exhibit!

Moving On! Before calling it a day, we walked down the

Crayola Wall of Fame!

Every time we head some place new,
Gavin likes to collect the souvenir coins!

And he couldn't wait to give one to his sweet little cousin!

Of course, this trip would not be complete without a quick stop off at the Crayola store to buy some goodies!

Gavin wanted to touch his favorite 'color'...

Yep, you guessed it ~ Mac & Cheese! ;)
{Okay, really, his favorite color is red & blue}
It was once upon a time his fave food though!

And, unless you've visited the Crayola Factory,
then you haven't seen the world's largest crayon!

We are huge fans of art-n-crafts,

so it was not hard filling up a cart-full of colorful crafts for home!

Then, heading out the door, we saw a ginormous crayon and these cuties had a blast running under it!

We had an awesome day exploring @ 3rd & Centre Square.....

where all sorts of COLOUR happens!

We will be sure to mark another day adventure at the Crayola Factory again this summer!
