Sparkly, colorful glitter has the potential to take a variety of crafted creations to the next level but it can also leave behind a great mess, which is why Crayola is introducing a series of mess-free glitter crafts at the New York Toy Fair. For the creation of its new products, Crayola drew inspiration from DIY art-inspired activities and created toys that help kids to stretch their imagination and creativity, all the while keeping messes contained.
Some of the new toys that are being introduced this year include Crayola Glitter Dots, which features dots with a special coating and adhesive that can be applied to multiple surfaces, and the Crayola Sprinkle Art Shaker, which gives kids the freedom to create incredible 3D art with glue and sprinkles in an enclosed case.
