Crayola sent us a bunch of free art supplies including their brand new Colors of the World crayons so that we could make our True Selfies. Opinions are our own.Crayola has created the Colors of the World crayon packs so that kids (and kids at heart) everywhere can truly represent themselves in their skin tone. With the 24 pack there are the 24 skin tones and in the 32 pack there are the 24 skin tones plus 4 hair color and 4 eye color crayons. The crayons include colors like Rose, Almond and Golden from Lightest to Deepest.

I was asked to work with the kids to create their True Selfie and with that we used the Crayola Camera Color app which takes photos and making them black and white for coloring. I took the photos of the kids and then we converted them and printed them so the kids could color them. They took great care in determining which crayon best represented their skin tones.

Andy went all out with his True Selfie. He colored the background as well. The color that best represented him was Medium Golden. He’s been getting pretty bronze on the beach the past few weeks.

Eva has also been to the beach but she is more fair than Andy and so she chose to have Light Medium Golden for her skin tone color.

Both kids had a lot of fun working on their True Selfies. We even printed out a couple of pictures for the cousins and when they came over they had fun picking their colors as well.
