This weekend I decided to take my little one with me on some errands and, like any curious parent/therapist, I found myself wandering through the arts and crafts aisle at Target. I find that, if nothing else, these meanderings are a good way for me to stay informed of all the latest products out there on the market. As I slowly scanned this entertaining aisle, I was so excited to see that good ol’ Crayola is doing its best to get babies and toddlers in on some arts and crafts fun…without the mess!

Check it out:

1. Self-Inking Washable Stampers: No stamp pad. No ink on the face. Just an easy-to-hold cute little character that leaves its footprints wherever those little hands take them.

2. No-Mess Marker and Paper: Young toddler wants to color on the couch, floor, and walls? No problem! These magical markers only work on the special paper included in the kit. Wow.

3. No-Mess Fingerpaint: Say, what?!?! Like the no-mess markers, this magic goop is specially designed to only work on the special paper. Double wow.

4. Washable Musical Rub-Art: Kind of like a MagnaDoodle, with a toddler twist. And there’s music so, hey, that’s always exciting.

5. Washable Bath Crayons and Canvas: Maybe you’ve seen Crayola’s big kid bath crayons that color directly on the bath tub wall (and sometimes stain the grout), but have you seen this? It comes with a canvas that just sticks to the wall so little ones can color on the canvas during bath time and then wipe it clean.

Needless to say, I just HAD to get one of these fun no-mess arts and crafts supplies so I could try it with my 13-month-old baby boy and then, of course, report back here to the blog to let you know how it worked.

If you have already liked MamaOT on Facebook, then you probably already know which arts and crafts product I snagged because I posted a picture of it on Saturday. But if you missed the picture or haven’t yet liked MamaOT on Facebook (what are you waiting for?!), be sure to subscribe to the blog or stop by tomorrow to find out what we did and how it went!
