I'm type 'A', OCD, a bit anal, a little nutty...whatever. I'm fine with it, it's just me. At any rate, Ayla really loves coloring and drawing right now and she often wants me to color with her. We each have our own crayons because mine have to be perfect...I know, but I did warn you. Well, every so often I throw my slightly used crayons into her one gallon bucket of crayons and open a fresh pack....I have to or I can't color. I know how ridiculous this sounds. I'm even laughing a little as I type it.Last week I was at Target and found an electric crayon sharpener on clearance. $11, so I picked it up. I figured it was worth a shot.
Well, guess what??? It's AMAZING. It sharpens crayons perfectly. It even gives them the little ridge that the Crayola factory gives them . The four throw-aways you see above were my "test subjects". If you look below....they look brand new!!!! This little contraption has changed coloring as I know it :0 It's called the Elmer's Crayonpro....get one, you'll love it!
Also, it makes the prettiest little shavings. I think I am going to melt them down to make some crayon blocks for Ayla. She'll definitely think they're fun.

I had to giggle a little when reading this. We all have our "things" though, huh? And who doesn't love fresh crayon!? I'm going to have to go get one of those sharpeners though! Looks supre cool!
