Colortime Crafts and Markers Review & Giveaway CLOSED

CLOSED
I am really looking forward to being able to do art projects with the twins. They love coloring, and when I brought out the tote bag and markers from Colortime, they went completely wild.Colortime Crafts and Markers sells all the supplies you'll need to do a creative project with the children in your life. It's a great activity to do at parties or just for entertainment on a rainy day. You can make colorful t-shirts, pillowcases, tote bags or even backpacks! And there are so many designs to choose from.
Colortime Crafts and Markers also has a weekly Facebook contest. They randomly draw names of 3 lucky fans who each receive a special craft package, which includes a Colortime color-your-own "Recycle Tote Bag" and three special permanent Colortime Fabric Markers. All you have to do to be eligible is to "like" Colortime Crafts and Markers on Facebook. The winners' Facebook names are posted each Monday on the Colortime Crafts and Markers Facebook page.
My Take
I had so much fun coloring my tote bag! I put a piece of paper toweling inside the tote, just in case the color would run through, but honestly it barely even made marks on the paper towels. The markers are permanent, but they don't have the strong smell of permanent markers...which means I could color my whole bag and not walk away with a headache. They're also non-toxic and washable, so you can put your newly colored t-shirt, tote bag, or whatever into the wash and you don't have to worry about the colors running and ruining everything in the laundry. But don't worry, you can wash the marker off of your hands quite easily (just don't get any on your clothes!!)
What I really like about the bag is that the black lines are thick enough that I can actually color inside them with the big fabric markers with no bleeding outside the lines. I'm not a particularly artistic person, but I think my tote bag came out looking great! I will totally buy some fun things for the twins to create when they're a bit older...maybe for their 4th or 5th birthday. What a neat activity and a great gift, too!
Cost:
- The Recycle Tote Bag is $4.75 + shipping. ($$$)
- A pack of six Fabric Markers is $12.00 + shipping. ($$$$$)
One very lucky reader will win a tote bag and three fabric markers from Colortime! And if you don't win (or even if you do), you can take 15% off of your next order from Colortime with the coupon code below. But be quick! It's only good until 4/22/11.
