Color Alive Apps

You all know how much I enjoy coloring. I’ve done some fun projects where I have colored giant crayola coloring sheets over and hour long period using every crayon in the box. That is a fun project. Another really fun project is playing with the all new Color Alive app and Color Alive coloring books. These are some amazing new books from Crayola including Fairies, Dragons, Skylanders, Barbie, Monster High and soon Minions. I have bought four of the books for Eva and Andrew so far and they have had a great time using them. We’ll eventually pick up Monster High and Minions soon.
