# Collaborative Color-Forward Toy Collections Crayola and Ms. Rachel Debut Color Wonder Ms. Rachel By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-wonder-ms-rachel References: [licenseglobal](https://www.licenseglobal.com/art-design/crayola-ms-rachel-partner-to-inspire-creative-learning-through-color)  [Crayola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-toys) has launched a new product line developed in collaboration with the popular children's educator Ms. Rachel, called the Color Wonder Ms. Rachel collection. The Color Wonder Ms. Rachel collection is designed for preschoolers and toddlers. The core offering utilizes Crayola's established Color Wonder technology, which features special inks and paints that are visible only on proprietary paper. This effectively eliminates the possibility of stains on skin, clothing, or household surfaces. The initial release includes coloring pages and markers themed around Ms. Rachel's world, with plans to introduce a paint-and-create set and an interactive Magic Light & Sound Brush later in the year. This forthcoming toy adds a multi-sensory dimension with over twelve minutes of audio that includes the educator's songs and spoken segments that share simple facts about colors as children paint.
