AW: I made these for the girls.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I was trying to find drop-proof crayon sets for the car trip.  I made my own.  I think they'll work well.
*all limbs crossed*

That's pretty awesome

We need to figure out something better for our next beach trip because we had total meltdowns (kid and parents) on the way home

[TrickyBob]

Ah, you did it the hard way. Just duct tape the crayon to the kids finger.


(That's a pretty niffty idea you've got going on actually)

Cool idea

[LynnWriter]

Great idea!

[snickers]

Great idea!

Make sure they don't melt in the sun though....they happened to me once (at work) It was a bitch to clean up.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

H is already fussing about that. I'm only putting them up when they're using them, they're going in the cooler the rest of the time.

Those look like they'd get tangled really easily. I hope it works out well!

[kaybee85]

That's a freakin cool idea!

[nsl]

Awesome idea! I was trying to figure out how to avoid dropped crayons on a flight later this month. I'm absolutely stealing this!

I don't even CARE.  As long as they're all together and undroppable.
I taped the yarn to the crayons.  I was going to use masking tape but I didn't have any.  Kristen will be reasonable, but Bria is going to take one look and get all CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
