Yup, you read that right. It's a crayon giveaway, but not just any old crayons - cute crayons made by 5 year old Evie. Read about Evie below, then at the bottom you'll see the set I'm giving away and the Rafflecopter to enter. You should check out her store as well, she has Doctor Who crayons!! And Superman. And Storm Troopers. I'm going to get me some of those! And then never color with them.
Evie is 5 years old and has a dream
of going to Disneyworld. When begging and pleading didn’t work Evie started on
a new plan to make her dream come true… she started a business! Now she is
saving her money while making crayons and selling them on Etsy!
From
Evie: The first crayons I made were just a homework project
with my mom. I wanted a dino birthday party and my mom said she would help me
make decorations. We made dino art to put up on the walls, dino invitations and
dino favors. The favors were little dinosaur crayons that my mom helped me poor
into a mold. After the birthday party some of my friends wanted more. So we
made more... and more... and more... and then my mom helped me put them with
dinosaur books in my grandpa's shop. I sold so many that I went to the store
with my mom and bought new shapes to make and we ordered molds for those shapes
too.
Now I sale them on my mom's site (Etsy store) that we share. Now my mom
helps me cut the papers and I take the papers off the crayons, melt them, and
put them into the molds (with a little help from mom or dad). I get half the
money I make to spend on things I want; right now I am saving for Disneyworld.
The other half goes into my college fund for when I'm a grown up. If you have
broken crayons you want to let me use I would be really happy to recycle them
(that's a big word mom taught me) into new shapes to make kids happy
everywhere! You can send them to my grandpa's shop the address is on the
Contact Us page, or if you want crayons for your kids or projects you can send
me a request or buy some off the store my mom and I share here...
