Review of CrayolaA laid back speaker gives the history of Crayolas while young crayon users chime in favorite colors and reviews of each others' art. Allington's impeccable timing and creative mix will spice up any broadcast about creativity, arts education, or design. |

Review of Crayola
sweet story - who has no feelings for crayola? It was right and good to pay tribute on the anniversary and the producer is to be credited for that.
The production was a little heavy handed and I was chomping at the bit to hear more from the young colorers themselves (you can hear agressive coloring in the background) rather than the very laid back speaker. She loves crayons but not as effusive as you'd want. I miss the fat crayolas...they're not so easy to find in the giant pack. Could be difficult to place outside the anniversary year except of course, for the first day of school ! |

Review of Crayola
Who can pass up a rainbow in a box? This is an engaging piece that would fit in nicely on a weekend. I enjoyed the children's voices and the coloring sounds. The piece evoked sweet memories.
