Construction
CRAYOLA
The Crayola Air Marker Sprayer turns Crayola markers into spray art. The Air
Marker Sprayer is electric-powered for continuous creativity without the mess of paint.
Kids can create realistic-looking airbrush art for craft projects, school projects, and more.
Kids can plug in the unit, secure a Crayola Broad Line Marker into the easy twist-andload
nozzle, and then release the trigger to spray. The sprayer works with most Crayola
Broad Line Markers, and has a compact, convenient design.
Kids can create colorful designs and patterns with a few twists of the wrist with the
Crayola Color Spin Out. Insert a paper disc, choose a marker color, then crank the handle,
and watch art happen. Connect up to three markers at once and adjust gear arms
for different outcomes. Color Spin Out works with Crayola Pip Squeaks Skinnies Markers.
With the electronic Crayola Crayon Factory, kids can use the included crayons or
recycle their old Crayola crayon bits to make melted creations. They can mix, melt, and
mold to make colorful car, heart, and puppy crayons for playing and doodling.
Create custom gel jewelry, charms, key chains, room décor, and more with Crayola
Creations Jewel Maker Design Studio. Kids pick a mold, mix the gel, and add some
glitter, confetti, or pictures to the mix. Creations are ready to wear or share in 30 minutes.
With the Crayola Emoji Maker, kids can mix, measure, and click to create their own emoji stampers. It comes with everything kids need
to make 16 custom color markers for creating and sharing unique emoji messages with friends.

Scent Sprinkle Nails, the Color Shift Nail Kit, and the My Lites Custom

Paint & Sparkle Galaxy Jewelry craft kits let kids create accessories featuring
embellished galaxy pendants, natural wood elements, and butterfly
hair accents, while new Simply Needlepoint kits and an updated “Knot-a”
