Crayola Colour Explosion - Rainbow

The Colour Explosion series by Crayola is a modern twist on the classic scratch art idea. The concept is that there are all sorts of colours/patterns hidden under a layer of black ink, which is dissolved by applying the colourless liquid in the special marker pens revealing the underlying colours. I bought a twin-pack of these, containing the Rainbow version (pictured above) along with the Neon version, which is basically the same except that the colours are a neon shade. The twin-pack contains two 20-page spiral bound tablets (both black), three sheets of stencils, five marker pens and a zip-lock bag for storage. I read some reviews on ...  Read the complete review

My eldest daughter is rather enthusiastic and creative on the art front at the moment - let's just say that our recycling bin is a little full (I do scan her better efforts), and at home time when reception all come out I am the mum who is most "blessed" with rockets made of boxes and the like.

All of the 20 pages are black, because it's onto these pages ...  Read the complete review

My little boy had this for his birthday this week and I thought now is a good a time than ever to review it. This Crayola range is fab if I may say so myself, I've had more fun with it than my boy but that's because he hasn't had much of a chance to play with it lol!! It reminds me of being in primary school........Do you ever remember colouring a sheet of paper in brightly coloured stripes/patterns, then colouring it over with a black crayon???? You would then scratch your drawing into it, removing the black to reveal the colour underneath! This is what the Crayola Colour Explosions is based on. You get a book with about 20 sheets of ...  Read the complete review
