The Crayon Bandolier Turns Art Into an Action Movie

— September 9, 2013 — Life-Stages
Those who want their kids to look like one of the soldiers from 'Predator while coloring will want to pick up the crayon bandolier. The bandolier is one of the most iconic action movie accessories. It has been seen in films from 'First Blood' to the aforementioned 'Predator;' basically, you can't make a film about blowing stuff up without having at least one cast member sporting a bandolier. Now kids can get in on the fun in a nonviolent way with the crayon bandolier from ThinkGeek.

The crayon bandolier comes with 24 crayons and is guaranteed to make your child look like a macho man/woman. It sells for $24.99 and is available now. Remember, "if it has lines, we can color it."
