welcome to the mommy and gracie show. i amhere today to review one of the items that we got in our december toy insider toy surprisebox. now there won't be a toy surprise box forjanuary because we're all trying to catch up with all of the stuff we got over christmasand we're all getting ready for toy fair, which is like insanity coming your way infebruary. but this is something really exciting andi was so so happy to see this in my box. i want to share it with you. now i have to tellyou something first, gracie stole something out of it. (laughs) so i'm going to put ina picture of the colored pencils that come with it.
so you can see the colored pencils. causeshe stole 'em. but this is the color escapes set from crayola.it's premium-coloring pages. so adults, you know, are just really gettingmore in touch with their inner child. just every day and i wonder sometimes if it hasanything to do with people, like myself, who are on youtube playing with toys and are,you know totally grownups moving on into the senior citizen realm. so coloring is a big thing. it's very relaxing.i really enjoy coloring. i have some coloring books, like i have this creative cats bookthat i love. they have coloring books with all different kinds of inspirational phrases.
here's a kitty that i've been working on fora while. but crayola really put together a cool kitthat is actually becomes frame able...oh! she put the pencils back in. (laughs) i loveher. so this kit comes with both, a pack of coloredpencils and a package of fine tip washable markers. and these colored pencils, there's fifty reallygorgeous colored pencils. these are really really great colors and ihave tried...i got some expensive colored pencils for my birthday that you would getat a craft store because i got a gift card for michael's, so i used them to get the expensivepencils, which were nice but the pencils kept
breaking so i was curious to see how thatwould go with the crayola pencils. i was wondering if it wasn't part due to, you know i'm multiplesclerosis and i have problems with my hands. coloring is good for me because it's goodtherapy for my hands but i was wondering if just maybe i'm pressing harder than i shouldbe. that's what i was wondering. well, i did a whole bunch of coloring theother night with these colored pencils from crayola and none of the tips broke. so crayola. quality product. or you can go spend fifty-two dollars on twenty-foursuper high, amazing, expensive colored pencils at a craft store and have the tips keep breakingoff on you. not one single tip. these were
made to stand up to children, which meansthey can stand up to me. and then you also get in this, you get a packof twelve washable markers, which i always loved the washable markers. washable markers are in no way inferior incolor to the regular crayola markers, so if you had any concerns about that. i mean they're not like copic's because they'renot alcohol ink, they're washable markers. but for purposes of coloring in a coloringbook, they rock. so the cool thing...sneaky peaky...the coolthing about this set is that it contains these large frame able coloring sheets. so it'snot a coloring book, it is a box with all
of these different designs that you can colorin. this is super high quality thick paper. really really high quality paper. very brightwhite so it keeps...like my camera keeps going, "what's going on?" so many cool designs. and they're designsthat i find relaxing to color in. the great thing about these is that you couldcolor these in and then frame them to give to relatives or if you're just looking fora way to dress up your room. i'm going to look on here to see if it sayswhat size these sheets of paper are because i did not measure them. it does not say. hmm...
so i don't know. i want to say they're like,maybe eleven by seventeen. kind of looks like bigger than legal paper. here is the design i started working on theother night. actually i was working on this during the blizzard and it was very relaxingand i still have to finish it. but i used a combination of the markers andthe colored pencils. now i'm not great at coloring so you will have to forgive any ofthe imperfections that i've got going on here. but you can see how beautiful the colors are.the pencils are so smooth. i really enjoyed coloring with these pencilsa lot. they have a really good feel against the paper.
the designs are intricate enough that youdo have to focus but not so intricate that my shaking hands cause me problem whatsoever. i wouldn't give this necessarily to a fiveyear old but i would definitely give it to adults in your life who are enjoying coloring. i think this would be really cool for a tweenor a teenager who is looking to kind of update the dãˆcor of their room. you know, they cancreate their own designs with this and frame these and hang or just tape them to the wall. and it's really really cool. i will put thepricing down below because it's really quite inexpensive when you take into considerationhow much you're getting in here. you're getting
twelve washable markers, fifty of the best,honestly, colored pencils i've tried so far in my coloring journey, and you get twelveof the premium coloring pages on this awesome awesome paper. so this is from crayola. thank you again tothe toy insider for sending this to me in our december surprise box. i was so so excited.i'm really enjoying coloring and i'm so glad that adults are getting back into coloringbecause it really is very therapeutic. and if you have children who like to colorwhy don't you get down on the floor with them with some crayons and get coloring becauseit's a lot of fun. thank you all so much for watching. pleasegive this video a thumbs up and subscribe
